The late Ant fly, the Fern fly, the white Hackle, the Harry-long-Legs. _For September_. The Cammel brown fly, the late Badger fly. _For October_. The same Flies that were used in _March_. _The best time to Angle in._ 1. If in the hot Months, cloudy Weather is best, when a small Gale stirs the Water. 2. When the Floods have carryed away the fish that sudden Showers Incumbered the Water withall, and the River and Pond retains its usual bounds, looking of a whitish Colour. 3. When a violent Shower has troubled or muddied the River, or a little before the Fish spawn, at what time they come into the sandy Ground to loosen their Bellies. 4. After Rains, when the Rivers keep their bounds, yet rise and run swiftly, for then they seek shelter in Creeks and little Rivulets running into the River. 5. Fish for Carp and Tench early, that is, before Sun rise, till Eight in the Morning, and from four in the Afternoon till after Sun set. In _March_, the beginning of _April_, and the latter end of _September_ and all Winter, when there are no great Frosts, the Fish bite in the warm of the day, the wind being still; but in Summer Months, Morning and Evening is best. 6. Fish rise best at the Fly, after the shower has muddied or Clouded the Waters, and Fish with Flies in generally _March_, _April_, _May_, and the beginning of _June_, is the best for Trout; you may Angle in a clear star light Night, for they are then roaving about for prey; he bites best in muddy water, and the best time of Fishing for him is from 8 to 10 in the Morning, and from three till five in the Afternoon. 7. The Salmon Fishery is best in _May_, _June_, _July_, and _August_, from three in the Afternoon till Sun set, and in the Morning as before. 8. The Barble bites best early in the Morning, till Ten or Eleven in _May_, _June_, _July_, and the beginning of _August_. 9. The Pearch and Ruff bites best all day in cool Cloudy Weather. 10. The Carp and Tench bite early and late in the still parts of the River; _June_, _July_, and _August_; as likewise do the Chevin, whose chief bait is white Snails, and small Lamperies. 11
