ANGLING IMPROVED. 



The PIKE takes all sorts of baits, save the Fly, 

 Gudgeon, Roach, Dace, 



and young frogs in Summer. You may halter him thus : 

 fasten a strong line with a snare at the end of it to a 

 pole, which if you go circumspectly to work, he will 

 permit you to put it over his head, and then you must 

 by strength, hoist him to land. 



EELS take great red worms, beef, wasps, guts of 

 fowls, and the minnow. Bait night-hooks for him with 

 small Roach, the hook must lie in the mouth of the fish, 

 as for the Pike; this way takes the greatest Eels.
