Place alfo a Stale fome diftance from your Limetwigs, 

 and faftenfmall ilrings to it , which upon the fight of 

 any Fowl you mull pull , then will your Stale flutter, 

 which will allure them down. 



If you fee any taken, do not run inftantly and take, 

 them up if you fee any Fowl in the air-, for by their 

 fluttering others will be induced to fwoop in among 

 them. It will riot be athifs to have a well-taught Spa- 

 niel with you for the retaking of fuch Fowl ( as it is 

 common) which will flutter away with the Limetwigs 

 about them. „ ^ 



If you intend to ufe thcfe Twigs for fmaller Wild- 

 fowl,and fuch as frequent the water only, then muft you 

 fit them in length according to the depth of the River ; 

 and your Lime muft be very llrong Water-lime, fuch a^ 

 no wet or froft can injure. Prick thefe Rods in the wa- 

 ter, as you did the others on the Land, as much of the 

 Rod as is limed being above water s and here and there 

 among your Rods you muft ftake down a live Stale, as 

 a Mallard, a Jndgeon or leal : and thus you may do in- 

 any Iballow Plafti or Fen. 



You need not wait continually on your Rods, but' 

 come thrice a day, and fee what is taken, viz. early in 

 the Morning, at high Noon, and late in the Evenings* 

 but come not unattended with your Water-fpaniel : 

 for if you perceive any of your Rods milling, you may 

 conclude fome Fowl are fattned to them which art 

 crept into fome Hole, BuOi, or Sedge by the River fide 

 and then will your Dog be very neceifary for the difco- 



very. 



Do not beat one Haunt too much , but when yoi 

 find their numbers fail, remove and find out another 

 and in three weeks time your firft will be as good a:
