THE COMPLETE ANGLER. 



[PART It 



A grayling is also to be dressed exactly after the same 

 manner, saving that he is to be scaled, which a trout never 

 is : and that must be done, either with one's nails, or very 

 lightly and carefully with a knife for bruising the fish. And 

 note, that these kinds of fish, a trout especially, if he is not 

 eaten within four or five hours after he be taken, is worth 

 nothing. 



But come, sir, I see you have dined ; and, therefore, if you 

 please, we will walk down again to the little house, and 

 there I will read you a lecture of angling at the bottom.
