HOW MENDED. 37 



This is the best way I can describe or direct the angler 

 how to repair a broken rod,, which I have illustrated by 

 a cut, for when at a distance from home, &c. he should be 

 prepared to remedy such an accident. 



For further information I would recommend him to ask 

 an experienced angler or his tackle maker, to show him 

 how to tie on a hook to hair, gut, or gimp, and how to 

 mend a broken rod, which may be communicated to him 

 in much less time than I have consumed in writing on the 

 subject. The facility with which the angler who resides 

 in the metropolis can get his tackle fitted or repaired, 

 makes him indifferent about the matter, but those who 

 cannot avail themselves of such assistance, should cer 

 tainly make themselves acquainted with the subject. 



DACE.
