COMMON BAITS AND GROUND BAITS 



It is well known that fish take such baits as the 

 season affords, as worms, insects, etc. ; and worms may 

 be used all day in spring and autumn, but in summer 

 only early in the morning and late in the evening. 



Lob-worms. — These are the largest worms that are 

 found in digging up a garden. They are often full six 

 inches long, and are good bait for large grayling, trout, 

 perch, bream, and eels. 



The Iraiidling-worm is a striped one, which smells 

 strongly, and is found in rotten dung, and is a very 

 seductive and killing bait for most fish. 



Red-worms are found in rotten dung also, but are 

 smooth, of a bright pink colour, and are a first-rate bait
