_ made with four teeth,
jagged on both sides, stricken into the Mud, on the bottom of a River,
and if you chance to strike where they lye, you infallibly take.

There is likewise an assured way of taking _Eels_, thus done: Take some
Bottles of Hay, mixt with green _Osiers_ of _Willows_, Bait them with
Sheeps-Guts, or other Beasts Garbage, sink them down in the middle, to
the bottom of your Pond or by the Bank sides, having fastned a Cord to
the Bottles, that you may twitch them up at your pleasure, and all the
best _Eels_ will resort to them.

The _Flounder_, _Shad_, _Thwait_, _Suant_, and _Mullet_, are taken with
_Red-Worms_ of all sorts, _Wasps_, and _Gentles_.

For the _Grayling_, you must head your Hook upon the shank, with a
slender and narrow plate of Lead, that the Bait (a large Grass-hopper)
may the more easily come over it; and at the point put a _Cad-bait_, and
keep the Bait in continual motion; not forgetting to pull off the
Grass-hoppers Wings.

The _Gudgeon_, takes the smallest Red-Worm, _Wasps_, _Gentles_, and
_Cadbaits_. When you Fish for him, stir up the Sand or Gravel with a
Pole, which will make them gather thither, and bite more eagerly.

The _Guiniad_, I shall remit speaking to, only mentioning it in course,
being no where found, but in a place called _Pemble-Mere_, in which
place they abound, as the River _Dee_ does with _Salmon_.

The _Pope_, or _Ruff_, is excellent for a young Angler, bites greedily,
and quantities may be taken, by Baiting the Ground with fat Earth, and
your Hook with small Red-Worms.

The _Pike_, loveth all sorts of Baits (unless the Fly) _Gudgeon_,
_Dace_, _Roaches_ and _Loaches_; and young _Frogs_ in Summer time, of
which the yellowest is best.

The _Pearch_, taketh all sorts of Earth-worms, especially the
_Lob-worm_, and _Brandling_, well scowred, _Bobs_, _Oak-worms_, _Dors_,
_Gentles_, _Cole-wort-worms_, _Wasps_, _Cad-baits_, and _Menow_, or a
little _Frog_, the Hook being fastned through the skin of his Leg,
towards the upper part of it. Be sure you give the _Pearch_ time enough
to pouch his Bait, before you strike.

The _Salmon_, is taken best with _Lob-worms_, scented with the Oyl of
Ivy Berries, or the Oyl of _Polypody_, of the _Oak_ mixt with
_Turpentine_: Or the well scowred Garden-worm, is an excellent Bait: The
_Salmon_, bites best in _May_, _June_, and _July_, at three a Clock in
the Afternoon, if the Water be clear, a little Wind stirring, especially
near
