Here shall ye vnderstand what time of the day is best to angle, from the 

 beginning of May vnto the moneth of September fish will byte. The best angling 

 to take fish, is earely in the morning from foure of the clock vntil it it be eight a clocke, 

 other be nie'edy, but not so good as in the morning : also the euenings be in- 

 different good to angle, if it be somewhat calme withall, or els not good, the winde 

 blowing from the South or West. 



Also if it be a cold whistling winde in a darke lowring day, for the darke lowring 

 weather is much better to angle in : then in a cleare sunny day, and from the 

 beginning of September vnto the end of Aprill, ye shall spare no time of the day 

 to angle, and likewise many poole fish will byte best in the mid day about noone. 

 If ye shall see any time of the day, the Troute, or Grayling leape, ye may then 

 angle to him a double worme, according to the same month, and if the water doth 

 ebbe and flow, the fish in some place will byte best at the ebbe, and in some places 

 at the floud, according to the places of rest, as behind pillers and arches of bridges, 

 or such like suckering places in the most quiet water.

Here ye shall vnderstand in what wether ye shall best angle as aforesaide in the 

 darke louring day, when the winde bloweth southly from the South or West : in the 

 Summer season when the sunne is very hote, it is then naught to angle, but from 

 September vnto Aprill, it is then good in a faire sunny day, the winde being then 

 good : if it haue any part of the Orient or East, it is then naught to angle, for they 

 will not byte, or when it is a great winde, snow, raine, or haile, or in a great tempest 

 of thunder, or lightening, for it feareth them, or els in a swooly hote wether, all these 

 times are not good to angle for to take fish.
