THE DRIFFIELD ANGLER. 43 



you are so provided, get some white bread 

 and bran, knead them well to the consistency 

 of paste, and making it up into small balls, 

 with a pebble in each, throw them into the 

 water : bait with gentles and you will have 

 excellent sport. 



The Dace will take all sorts of flies if you 

 point your hook with a gentle. In the spring 

 he takes an earth-bob very well. 



If the water be so high as to rise almost 

 to the banks, fasten to your line an artificial 

 fly called the caterpillar-fly, then take a 

 large yellow gentle, the yellower the better, 

 run your hook through his skin and draw 

 him up to the tail of your artificial fly ; this 

 being done, whip with it on the surface of 

 the water, and if you are diligent and ex- 

 pert, you may assure yourself of good sport
