LOB WORMS 



Are found in gardens or churchyards late 

 in the evening ; the best have a red head, 

 a streak down the back, and a broad tail. 

 This is a good worm for salmon, chub, 

 trout, barbel, eels, and large perch. 



In baiting with the worm, enter the hook 

 close to the top of the worm's head, and 

 carry it carefully down, working the worm 

 up the hook with one hand, and the hook 

 down the worm with the other. Do not 

 leave more than a quarter of an inch of 

 the tail hanging over the hook, or the fish 

 will only nibble at the worm without allow- 

 ing you to strike them with the hook. 



BRANDLING, OR GILT TAIL. 



This is found in old dunghills, rotten 

 earth, or cow's dung; the best are in 

 tanner's bark that has had time to rot. 

 This is a good bait for almost any fish.
