126 ART OF ANGLING. 



having holes in the top to give them air, with a 

 few green leaves. Some anglers make both ar- 

 tificially, but the live baits are always to be 

 preferred. 



CABS A GE-GR UB-FISHING. 



THERE are three kinds of cabbage-grubs, the 

 green, the speckled, and the brown ; all which 

 the fish are remarkably fond of: they appear in 

 gardens in June, and continue successively till 

 October. These are to be fished with in the 

 same way as the cod-bait and grasshopper. 



PASTES, &>c. 



PASTE is a general bait for many kinds of 

 fish, but it requires care and skill in using it, 

 and must be made with clean hands. 



Sweet paste for Carp, Tench, Chub, and 

 Roach, is made of a crumb of white bread, 

 dipped in honey, and worked with the fingers 

 in the palm of the hand until it is of a proper 

 consistence. When honey cannot be procured, 

 you may use lump sugar dissolved in warm wa- 

 ter, which will answer nearly as well. 



Plain paste is made of white bread dipped in 

 water, then squeezed as dry as possible, and 

 worked as above until it becomes very smooth 

 and stiff. This paste is valuable, because it is 

 easily made while at the water side.
