gills without opening them : they have a very 

 good flavour, and are always in season. 

 They are excellent baits for Salmon and large 

 Trout, the same as minnow. 



THE GUINIAD. 



This fish is only found in a large water 

 called Pemble-Meer, near Chester ; but what 

 is most remarkable appears to be this, that 

 the river which runs by Chester, hath its head 

 or fountain in Merionethshire, and, in its 

 course, runs through this Pemble-Meer, 

 which abounds as much with Guiniads as 

 the river Dee does with Salmon ; and yet it 

 was never known that any Salmon were 

 caught in the Meer, or Guiniads taken in the 

 river. I should imagine the same means 

 must answer in angling for this fish, as for 

 others of the truttaceous kind : but it is so 

 little known, even by report, that I can only 

 hazard the conjecture ; it is however said to 

 be good food, of rather an insipid taste.
