 )ait his hook with a ,T^/w;ow,puttingthe hook through, 

 "helowerraoltpartofhis mouth, iodraw, the Hook 

 -hroush -then put the hook in at the mouth again,and 

 let the point ot the hook come out at the hindmoft 

 Fin ■ then let him draw his Line, and ths Mnmws 

 [nou'th will clore,that no Water will get into his Belly. 

 As 1 faid before, he muft angle with the point of his 

 Rod down the Stream, drawing the Mmow up the 

 Stream by little and little nigh the top of the Water : 

 the Trout feeing the bait will come mofi; fiercely at it j 

 but the Angler muft not then prefcntly ftrike : this is 

 a true way without Lead ^ tor many times they will 

 come to the Lead, and forfake the Mtmwiv. ■ ■ 



The nextdireftionishow to angle with a Hy tor a 

 rrout. In the firft place let the Angler fit himfelt with 

 a Hazle of one piece or two fet conveniently together, 

 light and pliable. The lower part of Ins Line next 

 tlie Flv muft be of three or four hair d Links ,vbut 

 ifhe can attain fas aforcfaid; to angle with a fingie 

 Hair, he fiiall meet with more profit and plealure. 



Before he begin to angle, havingthe wind onhis 

 back, let him try how far he can calt his Line, 

 or a? what length his Fly, and let nim be careen 

 that the Fly fall firft on the Water ; f^^r if any of the 

 Line light upon the Water, he had better to have 

 ftood Itill than to have thrown at all. ^ ^e mult al- 

 ways caft down the Stream,, with the Wind behind 

 and the Sun before him -, it isa great advantage to 

 have either Sun or Moon before him. 



March is the raoncth for him to begin to angle vvitU 

 the Fly 1 but if the Weather prove windy or cloii- 

 dv there are feveral forts of Palmers that arc good 

 at 'that time: The firft is a black Palmer ribbed
