BEST'S ART OF ANGLING. 



THE LOB-WORM) DEW-WORM, GARDEN-WORM, TWAT- 

 CHELL, OR TREACHET, 



Found in a garden or church-yard late in a sum- 

 mer's evening, with a lanthorn. When the sum- 

 mer proves a very dry one, they may be forced 

 out of their holes with the liquor produced by 

 bruising walnut-tree-leaves in water. The best of 

 these are those which have a red head, a streak 

 down the back, and a broad tail, from which they 

 derive the name of squirrel-tails. 



This is a principal worm for salmon, chub, 

 trout, barbel, and eels of the largest size. 



BRANDLINGS, GILT-TAILS, AND RED-WORMS, 



Found in old dunghills, rotten earth, cows' dung, 

 hogs' dung ; but the best are those to be met with 

 in tanners' bark after it is thrown by. 



These, especially the two first, are for trout, 

 grayling, salmon-smelts, gudgeon, perch, tench, 

 and bream : the three last take the red-worm, 

 well-scoured, exceedingly well. 



MARSH OR MEADOW-WORMS, 



Found in marshy ground or the fertile banks of 

 rivers, are a little blueish, require more scouring 

 than the brandling or gilt-tail, and are taken from 

 Candlemas to Michaelmas. 



This is a choice worm in March, April, and 

 September, for trouts, salmon-smelts, gudgeon, 

 grayling, flounder, bream, and perch. 



TAG-TAIL, 



Found in marled lands, or meadows after a 

 shower of rain, or early in the morning in March
