particularly fond, of a hole covered with 

 boughs, and where the roots shoot down to 

 the waters edge, if they can find a good 

 hold ; in such places you may find the largest 

 Trout. When they watch for their prey, 

 they generally shelter themselves under 

 a bank, or a large stone, or in wecds > 

 where they are often seen lurking, entirely 

 covered except their heads ; when they are 

 discovered in this situation, go a little up the 

 stream, and with great care and caution 

 muddy the water, putting in your bait im- 

 mediately to the troubled place, then keeping 

 yourself as far from the bank as you can, to 

 be out of sight, follow your float and expect 

 success ; but I think it much better to angle 

 without a float 



The usual baits for Trout, are minnows, 

 flies, (either natural or artificial) worms, 

 grubs, gentles, cadisses, &c. The proper 

 worms are, the brandling, lob-worm, dung- 

 worm, &c. but especially the two first ; yet, 

 indeed, for bottom- fishing, the lob-worn*
