HOW TO PRESERVE CATERPILLARS. 27 



Gentles are not only the most universal, but 

 also the most alluring bait, and an angler should 

 never go ou'ta fishing without taking some with 

 him. V F routs have been taken with them, when 

 they have refused all kinds of worms and artifi^ 

 ciai flies ; to every kind of fish they are an ac- 

 ceptable bait, (Pikes and Salmons excepted) but 

 I do not doubt they would be so to them, were 

 it possible to fix them on a hook large enough 

 to.tooidi the above mentioned fishes. 



$0tr, SO FIND AND PRESERVE CATERPILLARS, 



'P 0AK-WORMS 9 CABBAGE- WORMS, COLWART-WORM 



0*h GRUB, CRAB-TREE-TTORM OR JACK, AND 



GRASSHOPPERS. 

 Sft 



Fottnd by beating the branches of an oak, crab- 

 tree, or hawthorn, that grow over a public path 

 or highway ; or upon cabbages, coleworts, &c, 

 Grasshoppers are found in short sun-burnt grass, 

 the latter end of June, all July and August. 

 To preserve these baits, cut a round bough of 

 fine green barked withy, about the thickness of 

 one's arm, and taking off the bark about a foot 

 in length, turn both ends together, into the 

 form of an hoop, and fasten them with a needle 

 and thread ; then stop up the bottom with a 

 bung cork, into this put your baits, and tie a 

 colewort leaf over it, and with a red-hot iron 

 bore the bark full of holes, and lay it in the 

 grass every night; in this manner your cads may 

 be kept till they turn to flies : to your grass- 

 hopper put grass.
