THE GRAYLING. 



THE Grayling delights in rapid streams, and 

 seldom exceeds a pound in weight ; they are 

 not met with near London, but abound in 

 the Trent, the Wye, and the Severn; Angle 

 for them with a No. 9 hook, and let your 

 worm or gentle be about a foot from the bottom ; 

 do not use a float. Although the Grayling 

 takes a bait fearlessly he is soon subdued. 

 Strike immediately you feel a bite.
