Baites for fireat \great\ fisJie. 



The baites for great fishe, yee shall keepe in minde this rule, that is, whensouer 

 yde doe take a great fishe, yee shall open the maw of him, and looke what yee finde 

 therein, make that your baite for that time, for that is ahvaies best and most surest. 

 There is many other making of baites, but for lacke of knowledge therein, I wil 

 here passe them ouer, and some not so needefull as necessary as these aforesaide. 



Of tweliie kindes of made Flies to angle, for the 

 trout, in Sommer ivith other fishe. 



There hath beene vsed twelue maner of flyes, made and sette vnto the hookes to 

 angle withall, on the top of the water, the which Flies are to angle for the grailing 

 and darce, and chiefest for the troute, and also for the chub, like as now ye shall 

 here me tell and declare, each by him selfe, the counterfeiting of them. 



First for the diinne Fly. 



1. The dun Fly (in March) the body is made of dunne woolle, and the \vinges 

 of the partridge feathers.
