180 FISHING IN AMERICAN WATERS. 



"A brother of the angle must always be sped 

 With three black palmers, and also three red ; 

 And all made with hackles. In a cloudy day 

 Or in windy weather, angle you may." 



He then recommends the May-fly, and states that the haw- 

 thorn fly should be small, while the oak fly with brown wings 

 and the grasshopper should be carefully imitated, concluding 

 with the following advice :

 Hog's, red cow's, and bear's wool to float best appear ; 

 And so doth your fur, if it rightly fall ; 

 But always remember, make two, and make all.'
