ancashire Fish_, found in a _Mere_, called
_Winander-Mere_ in that _County_, the largest in _England_; and being to
be found no where else, I shall not lead my _London_ Angler thither to
teach him to take it.

The _Chub_, called by some a _Cheven_, by others a _Villain_, is a
_Fish_ of no rare Meat; however, is good for a young Angler, and is thus
to be taken: Bait your hook with a _Grass-hopper_, find the Hole where
he lies, accompanied in a hot day, with twenty or more, floating almost
on the very superficies of the Water; choose which you think best, and
fairest, and drop your Hook some two foot before him, and he will bite
at it greedily, and cannot break hold with his _Leather Mouth_; let him
play and tire, lest you break your Line. If you cannot get a
_Grass-hopper_, then any _Worm_, or _Fly_ you will. In cold Weather,
fish for him near the Bottom, and the _Humble-Bee_ is the best Bait.
Some appropriate Baits according to the Month, but I shall Omit that;
The _Chub_ (being best and in his Prime in the Winter, and then
excellent meat Baked) a Paste made of _Cheese_, and _Turpentine_, is the
only Bait to take him.

The _Carp_ is subtle, and full of Policy, will never bite in Cold
Weather, but in Hot you cannot be too Early, or too Late. In _March_, he
seldome refuseth the _Red-Worme_, in _June_ the _Cadice_, and the three
next _Months_ the _Grass-hopper_: Pastes that are sweet, of which I have
spoken before, are very delightfull to _Carps_: And especially; if you
Bait your ground two or three dayes before you angle, with _Pellets_ of
course Paste, _Chickens-guts_, _Garbage_, &c. _Gentles_ anointed, and a
Piece of _Scarlet_ dipt in _Honey_, put them on the Hook, is an approved
way.

The _Dace_, _Dare_, _Rudd_, and _Roach_, being much of a kind, and
feeding, I shall put together, and are easily taken with small _Worms_,
_Bobs_, _Cadbaits_, _Flies_, _sheeps-Blood_, all sorts of _Worms_, bred
on _Trees_ or _Herbs_, _Paste_, _Wasps_, _Gnats_, _Lipberries_, &c. The
Heads of the _Wasps_, being dipt in Blood, is good for _Dace_, and
_Dare_; as is likewise the _Ant-flie_.

The _Eel_, takes great _Red-worms_, _Beef_, _Wasps_, _Guts_ of _Fowl_,
or _Fish_, _Menow_, small _Roaches_ are good Bait for Night Hooks; the
Hooks being in the Mouth of the _Fish_. Now because this is very
delightfull to most, I shall prescribe three wayes of taking them, as
are most full of Pleasure. The first way is called, _Sniggling_, or
_Broggli
