d of _May_, _June_, _July_, and beginning of
_August_, in his Haunts aforementioned; and the best Bait (omiting
others) is the well-scoured _Lob-Worm_ (being of a curious cleanly
Palate as well as shape) or Cheese steept an hour or two in clarified
Honey. He is a subtile Fish, extraordinary strong, and dogged to be
dealt with, and therefore be sure to have your Rod and Line strong and
long, or you may endanger to break it.

The _Breame_ is next in order; The most seasonable time to Angle for him
is from St. _James_ tide till _Bartholomew_ tide. He spawneth in _June_
or begining of _July_; is easily taken, as falling on his side after one
or two gentle turnes, and so drawn easily to Land. The best Bait for him
is that (most delightful to him) _Red-Worme_ (found in Commons &
_Chalky_ Grounds after Rain) at the root of a great _Dock_, wrapt up in
a round Clue. He loves also Paste, Flag-Wormes, Wasps, Green-Flies,
Butter-Flies, and a Grass-hopper, without Leggs.

Bait your Ground the night before with gross-ground Malt, boiled and
strained, and then in the morning with the Red-Worm, bait your Hook, and
plumbing your Ground within half an Inch, Fish.

The _Bleak_, an eager Fish, is caught with all sorts of Worms bred on
Trees or Herbs, also with _Flies_, _Cad-bait_, _Bobs_, _Paste_,
_Sheeps-Blood_, _White Snails_, _Wasps_, _Gnats_, &c. In a warm clear
day the small Flye at the rim of the Water is best; In a Cloudy day,
_Gentles_ or _Cadis_ two foot under the Water.

The _Bull-head_ or _Millers-thumb_, being Childrens Recreation, I shall
speak little of, only being serviceable for Baits, I shall only say he
is easily taken with a small Worm, being lazie and simple, and will
swallow any thing; and the _Minnow_, _Loach_, and _Bansticle_ being of
the same diet, I place here too.

The _Chevin_, loveth all sorts of _Worms_, _Flies_, _Cheese_, _Grain_,
and _Black Worms_, their Bellies being slit, that the White may be seen:
And very much delighteth in the _Pith_ of an _Oxes back_, the tough
outward skin being carefully taken off, without breaking the inward
tender skin. In the Morning early angle for _Chevin_, with a _Snail_;
in the heat of the day, with some other Bait; in the afternoon with the
_Fly_; the great _Moth_, with a great Head, yellow Body, and whiteish
Wings, usually found in _Gardens_, about the Evening: The larger the
_Chevin_, the sooner taken; loving his Bait large, and variety on a
Hook.

The _Char_ is a _L
