ON ANGLING. $$ 



RUFF, OR POPE 



Delight in deep holes that are quiet ; they 

 bite very freely, and will take gentles and 

 * white paste, but the best bait is a red worm. 

 Use a small cork float, two or three hooks 

 about six inches distant from each other, and 

 having found their haunts, you may take 

 forty or fifty at a standing, as they swim in 

 shoals. They seldom exceed five or six 

 inches in length, but are well tasted, and 

 very nourishing. 



BLEAK 



Are seldom angled for, being a fish little 

 valued, except for want of better baits for 

 other fish ; they may be caught in the place 

 baited with boiled malt for roach and dace, 

 by using a small hook with a single gentle, 

 fishing about half a yard deep. They will 

 take artificial flies, they must be very small. 

 and you may fish with three or four as direct- 

 ed for salmon frv.
