It .may not be improper in this place* 

 to defcribe the bed fituation for this 

 atnufcment. Fix on a place in deep 

 water that is not within twenty -yards of 

 any weeds that grow to the furface ;, 

 drive down two parallel rows of piles, 

 at a diftance wide enough to receive a 

 boat, obferving that the piles are not 

 left fo high as the boat's fides, or they 

 will be extremely troablefome, by fre- 

 quently entangling your lines. When 

 the willow tree is full leaved, weave or 

 plafh its branches between the piles.. 

 This grove (as it is called) will entice 

 the fmall fifh to fport about it, which,, 

 together with the fhade it afijrcs, fcems 

 to invite the pike there both for food 

 and fhelter, 



There is a double hook manufactured 

 to ufe a live bait with, called a fpring 

 fnap, that expands itfelf in the a6l of 

 ftriking a fifh, which in my opinion is 

 more a mechanical contrivance than an 

 ufeful invention, I fhall therefore fay no 

 more about it,
