MINNOW. 



MINNOWS are also very numerous in the 

 Thames, Lea, and New River. They are a 

 very small fish, and little valued by the angler 

 excepting for baits, when fishing for Trout, 

 Perch, or Chub ; the Minnow bites very freely 

 at a blood worm, a small piece of red worm, 

 gentles, or paste the tackle should be very 

 light, and a No. 13 hook : they are taken all 

 day from March till winter.
