THE RUDD. 



THE Rudd thrives best in ponds; in angling 

 for them use the same rod and tackle and 

 fish for them in every respect as for the 



Roach; they abound in Dagenham Breach, and 





 are met with in the Thames and Lea. 



In shape and colour the Rudd resembles 

 the Roach ; the body and gills are tinged with 

 gold, the belly, fins, &c. of a bright red colour.
