FLY FISHING. 9? 



late in the evening, a large white moth, bred 

 in willow trees, &c. They will also take the 

 cockchafer, grasshopper, the fly called the 

 father-longlegs, and all kinds of moths and 

 bees, but they generally prefer the largest : 

 these baits are easily procured by persons who 

 reside in the country, and kept alive : I pre- 

 fer the live bait, and seldom use any other. 



the best bait is the common house fly : you 

 may put two on a No. 10 hook. These flies 

 are kept in a bottle. Dace are caught of the 

 largest size by dapping, concealing yourself as 

 for Trout and Chub. For Bleak, one com- 

 mon house fly on a No. 12 hook.
