First the knotvlcdgc of angling ivith the 

 Hooke and Lyne. 



• 



ERE will I declare briefly vnto you, how to angle with the hookc 

 and lyne, in what times best, and in what places of the water to 

 take fish. First in standing pooles, ye shall angle where the water 

 is somthing de'epe. There is no great choise of any place where 

 it is any thing deepe, either in poolc or other standing water : but 

 in a riuer, yc shall angle best where it is de'epe and cleare by the ground, being 

 graucU or clay without any niudde or we'edes, and in whirling waters, or in a 

 couert, as vnder a hollow banke or rootes of trdes, or long we'edes floting 

 aboue on the water, all these places are troublesome : also it is good angling in 

 de'epe stiffe streames, or in falles of waters or weares, and in fludde gates, and mil! 

 pooles, and it is good whereas the water resteth by the banke, or where the streame 

 runneth nigh thereabout, being de'epe and cleare by the ground, or any other place 

 where ye may sde any fish houe aboue in the water, or hath any other feeding place 

 to resort, or on that side the water where the winde hath no great power.
