$0 JHE IHIIFFIELD- ANGLER-. 



The best method of angling for this fish ins 

 large rivers, is to fix a boat, or punt, across 

 the stream, with a large pole at each end, 

 shod with iron, that they may the better 

 drive into the gravel ; in this way two or 

 three persons may sit in the boat and fish 

 at the same time, having first drawn the 

 Gudgeons together by disturbing the ground 

 with a long- rake : your line should be small 

 at bottom, and your hook the same, No. 8 ; 

 put your float in as close to the boat as you 

 can, and let your bait swim down the stream, 

 as near as possible to the bottom, should it 

 even touch in some places it will be never 

 the worse : by these means vast quantities 

 of these pleasant little fish may be taken, as 

 they bite very greedily ; and when they be* 

 gin to give over feeding at one pitch, (which 

 will be the case) immediately remove your 

 boat to another.
