the edge larore enough to receive a fine 

 whipcord line, twelve yards long; or 

 at lead three yards longer than the pool 

 is deep. A fmall peg, fixed in the 

 centre, two inches long, with a notch 

 cut in the end of it. A fmall double 

 hook, fixed to a brafs wire link, which 

 is generally called a trimmer; to bait 

 which, take a live fifh, from two to 

 four ounces, and with the point of 

 the hook, make a fmall incifiori in the 

 fkin on its fide, near the gills, through 

 which thrufl the wire, then carefully 

 force it under the fkin to the vent ; 

 draw the bait along it until the {hank 

 of the hook is covered; in which flate 

 it will live twenty-four hours. 



Faften one end of the line fecurely 

 to the floater, and wind it around the 

 edge of it, tie the other end to the 

 loop in the wire, then fatten the line 

 flightly in the notch of the peg, to pre- 

 vent the bait running it out of the 

 groove, leaving about four feet out 

 for the bait to fink with,
