The Floiuider. 



The Flounder is also a holesome fish for sicke folkes, and he will be in fresh 

 waters and riuers, he is free in byting, but a subtill byter after his manner, in nibling 

 long ere he take the bayte : and commonly when he sucketh his meate, he feedeth 

 at the ground, and therefore ye must angle to him with a lying ground line : and 

 they vse for him but one manner of bayte, which is the red worme, for that is the 

 common and chiefest bayte for him, and all manner of fish. 



The Googing. 



The Googing is a good and a holesome fish, he is a readie byter, and byteth 

 commonly at the ground, and his baytes through out the yeare are these : the red 

 worme for the chiefest, also the codde worme and the gentell : and ye must angle 

 to him with a flote or corke, and let alwayes your bayt be within two fingers or an 

 inch of the bottome or lesse, or else for to dragge on the grounde, for so it is best 

 and most soonest to take them. He vseth in deepe places with cleane sand or 

 grauel ground at the bottome, as at wayers, bridges, and miltayles. 



The Menow. 



The Menow is a small fish and a bold byter, and byteth commonly at the 

 bottome, as the Googine : it is a holesome fish to eate if he be gauld. For when 

 he shineth in the water, he is then bitter, though his bodie be small : and he is a 

 great rauening byter, and will have the bayte before other fish : ye shall angle to 

 him with the same baytes as ye doe for the Gogin, sauing they must be small. 

 And with a small hooke, or else ye shall often be deceiued by them : some angles 

 to them with a line of two hookes or three, two together and on [an] other hooke 

 aboue : they will be in all shalow places as in ditches, and such like.
