ANGLING IMPROVED. 



16. A CHEVIN loves to have several flies, and of 

 divers sorts, on the hook at once, and several baits also 

 at once on the hook, as a wasp and colwort-worm, or an 

 old wasp, and young dore, or humble, when his wings 

 and legs are grown forth, or a fly and cad-worm, or 

 oak- worm. 



1 7- Take for a Trout, two lob-worms well scour- 

 ed, cut them into two equal halves, put them on .your 

 hook -, this is an excellent bait. 



In a muddy water, a Trout will not take a cad- 

 bait, you must therefore only use it in clear water. 



If you desire to angle in a very swift stream, and 

 have your bait rest in one place, and yet not over bur- 

 then your line with lead ; take a small pistol bullet, 

 make a hole through it, wider at each side than the 

 middle, yet so open in every place, as that the line may 

 easily pass through it without any stop ; place a very 

 small piece of lead on your line, that may keep this 

 bullet from falling nearer the hook than that piece of 

 lead, and if your float be made large enough to bear 

 above water, against the force of the stream, the fish 

 will, when they bite, run away with the bait as securely,
