58 OBSERVATIONS 



ing all others. In angling with paste, you 

 must be attentive and strike quick ; when 

 you use boiled wheat or malt, chuse those 

 corns that are plump and soft, one is suffi- 

 cient, put your hook into it so that the 

 point may lie where it is burst and where 

 the white appears, you will hok the fish 

 more easily. Roach and dace with fine 

 tackle afford good diversion, and great quan- 

 tities are caught at a time. When you be- 

 gin, throw a good handful of the boiled malt 

 into the hole, and continue to throw in some 

 whilst you fish, but sparingly. 



A small landing net will he very useful.; 

 in landing the large ones, draw them a yard 

 or two below the place where you fish, it 

 will occasion lefs disturbance in the hole. 



In summer, dace also frequent sharp 

 gravelly scours, and may be caught with 

 small artificial flies, particularly the ant fly. 

 and black and dun ones.
