The Compleat ^Angler 



Angling at the top is of two sorts ; 'with a quick fly, or with an 

 artificial fly. 



That we call angling at the bottom is also of two sorts ; by hand^ 

 or with a cork or float. 



That we call angling in the middle is also of two sorts ; with a 

 minnow for a trout^ or with a ground-bait for a grayling. 



Of all which several sorts of angling, I will, if you can have the 

 patience to hear me, give you the best account I can. 



VIAT. The trouble will be yours, and mine the pleasure and the 

 obligation : I beseech you therefore to proceed. 



Pise. Why then, first of fly-fishing.
