ith _Salmon_. The _Pope_, or _Ruff_, is excellent for a young _Angler_, bites greedily, and quantities may be taken, by Baiting the Ground with _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_, _Cadbaits_, 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 the _Sea_. The _Tench_, is a great lover of large Red _Worms_, first dipt in _Tar_. As also all sorts of Paste, made up with strong scented _Oyls_, or _Tar_, or a Paste made up of Brown _Bread_, and _Honey_. He will bite too at a _Cad-worm_, _Lob-worm_, _Flag-worm_, green _Gentle_, _Cadbait_, _Marsh-worm_, or soft boil'd _Bread-grain_. The _Torcoth_, being before mentioned, I only let you know, that he is only found, in the Pool _Linperis_ in _Carnarvan-shire_; and leave you to the _Welch-mens_ description, both of him and his _Bait_. The _Trout_, is fattest, and in his prime in _May_, and is caught with all sorts of _Worms_, especially _Brandlings_, commonly found in an Old _Dung-hill_, _Cow-dung_, _Hors-dung_, or _Tanners-bark_: Also with _Flies_, Natural and Artificial, with young _Frogs_, _Menow_, _Marsh_, _Dock_ or _Flag-worms_; all sorts of _Cad-bait_, _Dors_, _Bobs_, _Palmers_, _Gentles_, _Wasps_, _Hornets_, &c. and with the _Catterpiller_, used according to the Rule before prescribed for the _Grayling_. _Lastly_, The _Umber_, endeth our _Alphabet_, and _Discourse_ of _Fishing_ too, and gives me occasion to add no more, but that he is taken as the _Trout_, just now mentioned; And therefore now to your Sport: To assist your well effecting which, I have but this to add; Cast into your Haunts where you use to _Fish_, on
