72 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE. 



POPE OR RUFF. 



THE Pope or Ruff is much like the Perch 

 in form and flavour, being firm and well- 

 tasted ; they are taken with worms arid gen- 

 tles, but are rarely to be met with in the 

 vicinity of London. 



MILLER'S THUMB. 



THE Miller's Thumb is a small ugly fish, 

 hardly worth naming : in warm weather, they 

 lie in the shallow waters, on stones, and will 

 take a small piece of worm directly you put it 

 near them. These fish are only found in rivers.
