ANGLING IMPROVED. / 



hooks ready fastened, and flies ready made, into the 

 several partitions ; this will contain much, and will also 

 lie flat and close in your pocket. 



7. Have also a little whetstone about two inches 

 long, and one quarter square ; it's much better to shar- 

 pen your hooks than a file, which either will not touch 

 a well-tempered hook, or leave it rough but not sharp. 



8. Have a piece of cane for the bob and palmer, 

 with several boxes of divers sizes for your hooks, 

 corks, silk, thread, lead, flies, &c. 



9. Bags of linen and woollen, for all sorts of baits. 



10. Have a small pole, made with a loop at the 

 end, like that of your line, but much larger, to which 

 must be fastened a small net, to land great fish, with- 

 out which, should you want assistance, you will be in 

 danger of losing. 



1 1 . Your pannier cannot be too light ; I have seen 

 some made of osiers, cleft into slender long splinters, 

 and so wrought up, which is very neat, and exceeding 

 light: you must ever carry with you store of hooks, 

 lines, hair, silk, thread, lead, links, corks of all sizes, 

 lest you should lose or break, as is usual, any of them, 

 and be forced to leave your sport in quest of supplies.
