st sound Cork without flaws or
holes, bored through with a hot Iron, and a Quill of a fit proportion
put into it; then pared into a pyramidal Form, or in the fashion of a
small Pear, to what bigness you please, and ground smooth with
Grindstone or Pumice; this is best for strong Streams.

In fine, _To plum the Ground_, get a _Carbine_ Bullet bored through, and
in a strong twist hanged on your _Hook_ or Rod. To sharpen your _Hook_,
carry a little _Whetstone_. To carry your several utensils without
incommoding your Tackle, have several _Partitions_ of Parchment. And in
short the ingenious Angler will not be unprovided of his _Bob_ and
_Palmer_; his Boxes of all sizes for his _Hooks_, _Corks_, _Silk_,
_Thread_, _Flies_, _Lead_, &c. His _Linning_ and _Woollen Bait-bags_;
His splinted _Osier light Pannier_; and lastly his _Landen Hook_, with a
Screw at the end to screw it into the socket of a Pole, and stricken
into the Fish, to draw it to Land: To which socket, a Hook to cut up the
Weeds, and another to pull out Wood, may be fastned.

_Baits_ are branched into three Kinds.

First, the _Life-baits_, which are all kind of _Worms_, _Redworm_,
_Maggot_, _Dors_, _Frogs_, _Bobb_, _Brown-flies_, _Grasshoppers_,
_Hornets_, _Wasps_, _Bees_, _Snails_, small _Roaches_, _Bleak_,
_Gudgeon_, or _Loaches_.

Secondly, _Artificial living Baits_, of _Flies_ of all sorts and shapes,
made about your Hooks with Silk and Feathers, at all times seasonable,
especially in blustering Weather.

Lastly, _dead Baits_, Pasts of all makings, Wasps dryed or undryed,
clotted _Sheeps-blood_, _Cheese_, _Bramble-berries_, _Corn_, _Seed_,
_Cherries_, &c. The two first good in _May_, _June_ and _July_, the two
next, in _April_; and the last in the Fall of the Leaf.

_Of Flies._

Of _Natural_ flies there are innumerable, and therefore it cannot be
expected I can particularize all; but some of their names I shall
nominate, _viz._ The _Dun-Fly_, _Red-fly_, _May-Fly_; _Tawny-Fly_,
_Moor-Fly_, _Shell-Fly_, _Flag-Fly_, _Vine-Fly_, _Cloudy_ or
_Blackish-Fly_, _Canker-Flies_, _Bear-Flies_, _Caterpillars_, and
thousands more, differing according to the Soils, Rivers or Plants.

_Artificial Flies_, are made by the Ingenious Angler, according to Art,
in shape, colour and proportion like the Natural Fly, of _Fur_, _Wool_,
_Silk_, _Feathers_, &c. To delineate which I must confess my self not so
accurate and skilful a Painter, nor can any Pen-drawing, illustrate
