THE COMPLETE ANGLER. 



[part I. 



Loach that I told you of, will do the like : no bait i* 

 more tempting, provided the Loach be not too big. 



And now, Scholar, with the help of this fine 

 morning, and your patient attention, I have said 

 all that my present memory will afford me, con- 

 cerning most of the several fish that are usually 

 fished for in fresh-waters. 



Ven. But, Master, you have, by your former civi- 

 lity, made me hope that you will make good your 

 promise, and say something of the several Rivers 

 that be of most note in this nation ; and also of 

 Fish-ponds, and the ordering of them : and do it, 

 I pray, good Master, for I love any discourse of 

 rivers, and fish and fishing, the time spent in such 

 discourse passes away very pleasantly.
