THE COMPLETE ANGLER. 253 



may be so preserved ten, fifteen, or twenty days, 

 or it may be longer. 



There is also another cadis, called by some a 

 straw-worm and by some a ruff-coat, whose house 

 or case is made of little pieces of bents and rushes 

 and straws and water-weeds, and I know not what ; 

 which are so knit together with condensed slime 

 that they stick about her husk or case not unlike 

 the bristles of a hedgehog. These three cadises 

 are commonly taken in the beginning of summer, 

 and are good indeed to take any kind of fish with 

 float or otherwise. I might tell you of many more, 

 which as these do early, so those have their time 

 also of turning to be flies later in summer ; but I 

 might lose myself and tire you by such a dis- 

 course : I shall therefore but remember you that 

 to know these and their several kinds, and to 

 what flies every particular cadis turns, and then 

 how to use them, first as they be cadis, and after 

 as they be flies, is an art, and an art that every 

 one that professes to be an angler has not leisure 

 to search over ; and if he had, is not capable of 

 learning. 



I '11 tell you, scholar, several countries have 

 several kinds of cadises, that indeed differ as much 

 as dogs do : that is to say, as much as a very cur 

 and a greyhound do. These be usually bred in 

 the very little rills or ditches that run into bigger 

 rivers, and, I think, a more proper bait for those 

 very rivers than any other. I know not, or of what, 

 this cadis receives life, or what colored fly it turns
