Trespassing for crayfish, too, causes much annoy- 

 ance. I have known men to get bodily up to the 

 waist into the great ponds, a few of which yet remain,, 

 after carp. These fish have a curious habit of 

 huddling up in hollows under the banks ; and those 

 who know where these hollows and holes are 

 situate can take them by hand if they can come 

 suddenly upon them. It is said that now and then 

 fish are raked out of the ponds with a common rake 

 (such as is used in haymaking) when lying on the mud 

 in winter.
