WITH DIRECTIONS HOW TO FISH FOR HIM 



that there is more than one sort of them, as namely, a Tecon, 

 and another called in some places a Samlet, or by some, a 

 Skegger : but these and others, which I forbear to name, may be 

 fish of another kind, and differ, as we know a Herring and a 

 Pilcher do, which I think are as different, as the rivers in which 

 they breed, and must by me be left to the disquisitions of men 

 of more leisure, and of greater abilities, than I profess myself 

 to have. 



And lastly, I am to borrow so much of your promised 

 patience, as to tell you that the Trout or Salmon being in season, 

 have at their first taking out of the water, which continues during 

 life, their bodies adorned, the one with such red spots, and the 

 other with such black or blackish spots, as give them such an 

 addition of natural beauty, as, I think, was never given to any 

 woman by the artificial paint or patches, in which they so much 

 pride themselves in this age. And so I shall leave them both, 

 and proceed to some observations on the Pike.
