A Booke of fishing with Hooke Line and of all other instruments thereunto belonging Another of sundrie Engines and Trappes to take Polcats Buzards Rattes Mice and all other kindes of Vermine Beasts whatsoeuer most profitable for all Warriners and such as delight in this kinde of sport and pastime Made by L. M. LONDON Printed by Iohn Wolfe and are to be solde by Edwarde White dwelling at the little North doore of Paules at the signe of the Gunne First the knowledge of angling with the Hooke and Lyne HEre will I declare briefly vnto you how to angle with the hooke lyne in what times best and in what places of the water to take fish First in standing pooles ye shall angle where the water is somthing déepe There is no great choise of any place where it is any thing déepe either in poole or other standing water but in a riuer ye shall angle best where it is déepe and cleare by the ground being grauell or clay without any mudde or wéedes and in whirling waters or in a couert as vnder a hollow banke or rootes of trées or long wéedes floting aboue on the water all these places are troublesome also it is good angling in déepe stiffe streames or in falles of waters and weares and in fludde gates and mill pooles and it is good whereas the water resteth by the banke or where the streame runneth nigh thereabout being déepe and cleare by the ground or any other place where ye may sée any fishhoue aboue in the water or hath any other féeding place to resort or on that side the water where the winde hath no great power What times best to angle HEre shall ye vnderstand what time of the day is best to angle from the beginning of May vnto the moneth of September fish will byte The best angling to take fish is earely in the morning from foure of the clock vntil it it be eight a clocke other be méetly but not so good as in the morning also the euenings be indifferent good to angle if it be some what calme withall or els not good the winde blowing from the South or West Also if it be a cold whistling winde in a darke lowring day for the darke louring weather is much better to angle in then in a cleare sunny day and from the beginning of September vnto the end of Aprill ye shall spare no time of the day to angle and likewise many poole fish will byte best in the mid day about noone If ye shall sée any time of the day the Troute or Grayling leape ye may then angle to him a double worme according to the same month and if the water doth ebbe and flow the fish in some place will byte best at the ebbe and in some places at the floud according to the places of rest as behind pillers and arches of bridges or such like suckering places in the most quiet water In what wether to angle in HEre ye shall vnderstand in what wether ye shall best angle as aforesaide in the darke louring day when the winde bloweth southly from the South or West in the Summer season when the sunne is very hoie it is then naught to angle but from September vnto Aprill it is then good in a faire sunny day the winde being then good if it haue any part of the Orient or East it is then naught to angle for they will not byte or when it is a great winde snow raine or haile or in a great tempest of thunder or lightening for it feareth them or els in a swooly hote wether all these times are not good to angle for to take fish Of twelue lets in taking fish YE shall here vnderstand there be twelue manner of impediments or lets which causeth a man to take no fish without other cunning that may happe by casualtie The first is if your harnesse or lynes be not fitly made the second is if your baites be not good nor fine the third is when that ye angle not in the byting time the fourth is if that your fish be fearefull of the sight of man the fift is if the water be very thicke white or redde by any floud late falen the sixt is if the fish for colde doe not stirre abroade the seuenth is if the wether then be too hote the eight is if it be in rainy wether the nynth is if then haile or snow do fall the tenth is if it be in any tempest the eleuenth is if then it be a great winde the twelfth is if the winde blow from the East for that is worst and commonly neither winter nor summer the fish will then byte the West and North windes be good but the South winde best of all To take the Salmon THe Salmon is a gentle fish but he is cumbrous to take for commonly he is but in déepe places of great riuers and commonly in the middest of the riuer he is in season from March vnto Michaelmasse and ye shall angle to him with a red worme from the beginning to the ending and with the bobbe worme that bréedeth in the dughill also there is a soueraigne baite that bréedeth on the water docke the Salmon byteth not at the ground but at the flote or aboue ye may also take him with the dubbe worme at such time when he leapeth but it hath seldom séene and ye shall take him in like manner as ye doe take the Trout or Grayling or the Dace For the Troute THe Troute is in season from March vnto Michaelmasse he vseth commonly a cleane grauely ground and in a streame ye may angle to him at all times with a ground lyne lying or runniug sauing in the leaping time then with the dubbe flye and earely in the morning with a running ground lyne and further in the day with the flote lyne Also yce may angle to him in March with a Menowe hanged on your hooke by the nether parte without anye flote or plumbe drawing it vppe and downe in the streame till ye féele him fast but if ye angle to him with the flye ye shall strike when he is a foote and more from your baite for the commeth so fast ye may in the same time angle to him with a ground lyne and bayted with a red worme for that is a good sure baite and is most vsed Also in March Aprill May September and October take the Menow on your hooke in December Ianuarie and Februarie drag with the bobworme at the ground in Iune Iuly and August fish with made flyes on your hooke on the vpper parte of the water for that is a sure baite and is most vsed In Aprill take the red worme and also of Iuneba otherwise called seuen eyes or the great canker worme that bréedeth in the barke of a great trée and the red snaile In May take the stone flye or Caddis worme and the bobbe worme vnder the Cowtorde also ye may take the silke worme and the baite that bréedeth on
