In this manner stand in the fore pait of the boat, an^ 

 throw before you down the stream ; using either a very. 

 nice red-spinner on No. 5, or 6, or an ant, or a gnat fly. 

 on No.- S, or Q ; for at such they will rise well, and 

 afford excellent sport. 



When you have hooked a fish, you can render the boat 

 stationaryby serving out more rope 5 or you can cause the 

 waterman to pole away to such a port as may appear 

 better suited to allowing a good scope of line, which, with 

 such small tackle, must be freely given, else you will 

 lose all the large fishes. 



Take care to subdue well before you venture to draw 

 too close to the boat ; for at sight of you the fish will 

 make desperate exertions, and do all he can to avoid your 

 landing-net. 



In this way of proceeding, which I have detailed under 

 this head because it is peculiarly appropriate to chubs, you 

 will frequently catch fine, trouts> and perhaps occasionally 

 some perch -, though the latter prefer the worm to the 



By. 



By casting over the scours, and upon the shoals, as 

 you kedge down, you will have variety of fishes, espe- 

 cially very fine daqe, and graylings, where they are in 

 t(ie waters. 



If you have not a boat, try from a headland -, and, 

 keeping carefully out of sight, take the advantage of the. 

 wind in your back to blow out a very fine line, baiting 

 a small hook with a common house- fly, or a blue- 

 bottle, &c. .. 



I have heard that chuls are to be taken with cherries ; 

 but I never made the trial : I should, however, rather 

 think it time thrown away, and that the angler would
