other a very small mesh, for minnows, loach- 

 es and smaller fish, baits for trout, chub, 

 perch, and flounders. 



Bait pans of different sizes, the tops 

 punched full of holes, and not so large that 

 the baits may escape, when the bait pan is 

 put into the river, which keeps them cool, 

 and supplies them with fresh water. 



Two landing nets, one proportioned to 

 the size of pike, barbel, and chub, and a 

 smaller for trout, bream, roach^ and eels ; 

 these are preferable to landing hooks in se- 

 curing fish, when sufficiently tired, though 

 the latter are useful to disengage the line 

 from weeds and stumps in the water, and 

 irorn branches of trees growing on the banks. 



Canvafs and woollen bags of various sizes, 

 for large and small worms, and boiled malt. 



Tin boxes of various sorts, for gentles, 

 paste, and natural flies ; those for natural 

 flies, with- the tops punched full of small 

 holes to admit the air.
