 weeds begin to grow fowre or rot, 

 and the weather colder, then they 

 gather together, and get into the 

 deeper parts of the water, and are to 

 be fifh'd for there, with your hook

 cork ; but many will fifh for the 

 Gudgion by band, with a running 

 line upon the ground without a cork 

 as a Trout is fiihedfor,and it is an ex- 

 cellent way.

 a Pope, and by fome a Ruffe 9 a fifh

 his fhape, but will not grow to be 

 bigger then a Gudgion ; he is an ex- 

 cellent fifh, no fifh that fwims is of a 



pleafanter
