THushave I given you an Alphabetical and fum- 

 mary accoantofthe Nature of Fifh, and'th'efe- 

 veral ways to take them,according to ancient and mo- 

 dern experience : I fhalJ onelygive you more" a fliort 

 difcovery of their Haunts 5 and fo Ifhall conclude 

 this Ticatife. 



. JSJext to- the Art of taking Fifh, the knowledge of 

 their Haunts and proper places to find them in accor- 

 ding to their kinds is rightly W%t confldered- for 

 mt knowing wh^t.Riversor'wh'at'partsof them are 

 fitceftfor^yourBilits^or what- Baits beft fute with each 

 River and thefifh therein contained, you onely aiigle 

 atadvcntufe,and, inftead of reaping fiiti<>faa:i6ri,^you 

 onely lofe yoiir pains and your labour. • " ■- ' 



' ■' Wherefore in the firft placryou are to underftand, 

 that fiflies change places with the feafon. Some'in the 

 Summer keep always near the top or rim of the Wa- 

 ter^ others are continually at the bottom. For the' 

 firlt, you may angle with a Float or FJy ^ the latter 

 are to be found at the Arches of Bridges, Mill-ponds ' 

 Wears, Flood-gates, &c. In Winter all fi/Ii in gene- 

 ral fly into deep Waters. 



The Barbel, Roach, Dace, and ^/#" delight in fandy 

 gravelly ground. The deepeft part of the River: and 

 the Shadows of Trees are equally grateful.

The Bream, Pike^^nd Chuh choole a Clay and Ouzie 

 ground. The Bream delights molt in the midit of a 

 River whofe. Stream is not too rapid, but gently 

 gliding : the Pike is for ftill Waters full of Fry ^ and 

 that he may the better and fecurer feize his Prey, he 

 frequently abfconds himlelf amon^ft Water-do'cks 

 under Bulhcs or Bull-rufhes.
