He will also find, that by having the gut to which he 

 attaches the hook, selected from the longest fibres he

 at its upper end may be tied down, it will be more or 

 less seen } or may cause some little ripple as he draws it 

 in : therefore he should take the above means to remove 

 it, as far as possible, from the fish's eye.
