day_n and_o the_o pool_n fish_n will_v bite_v best_a in_o the_o morning_n and_o if_o you_o see_v at_o any_o time_n of_o the_o day_n the_o trout_n or_o the_o grail_a leap_n angle_v for_o he_o with_o a_o dub_v according_a to_o the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n and_o where_o the_o water_n eb_v and_o flow_v the_o fish_n will_v bi●e_v in_o some_o place_n at_o the_o ebb_n and_o in_o some_o place_n at_o

the_o wind_n blow_v soft_o for_o in_o summer_n when_o it_o be_v very_o hot_a than_o it_o be_v nought_o from_o september_n until_o april_n in_o a_o fair_a sunny_a day_n it_o be_v very_o good_a angle_n &_o if_o the_o wind_n at_o that_o time_n have_v any_o part_n of_o the_o orient_a weather_n than_o it_o be_v nought_o and_o when_o it_o be_v a_o great_a wind_n and_o that_o it_o snow_v rain_v or_o

be_v if_o the_o wind_n be_v in_o the_o east_n and_o that_o be_v worst_a for_o common_o neither_o in_a winter_n nor_o summer_n the_o fish_n will_v bite_v if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o east_n the_o west_n or_o the_o north_n be_v good_a but_o the_o south_n be_v best_a of_o all_o and_o now_o i_o have_v teach_v you_o to_o make_v your_o harness_n and_o how_o you_o shall_v fish_v therewith_o in_o all_o

this_o art_n without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o which_o bait_n all_o the_o rest_n before_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n can_v make_v a_o fish_n to_o swallow_v the_o hook_n without_o the_o bait_n and_o therefore_o i_o have_v set_v you_o down_o every_o fish_n with_o his_o proper_a bait_n belong_v to_o the_o time_n and_o best_a time_n to_o catch_v they_o as_o follow_v and_o because_o the_o salmon_n of_o all_o fish_n be_v the_o most_o stately_a therefore_o i_o mean_v to_o begin_v with_o he_o the_o first_o the_o salmon_n be_v a_o very_a gentle_a fish_n but_o he_o be_v troublesome_a to_o take_v for_o common_o he_o be_v in_o deep_a place_n of_o great_a river_n and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n he_o will_v keep_v he_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o it_o that_o you_o may_v not_o come_v at_o he_o and_o he_o be_v in_o season_n from_o march_n until_o michaelmas_n in_o which_o season_n you_o may_v angle_v for_o he_o with_o these_o bait_n if_o you_o can_v get_v they_o first_o with_o a_o red_a worm_n in_o the_o beginning_n and_o end_v of_o the_o season_n and_o also_o with_o a_o grub_n that_o breed_v in_o a_o dunghill_n and_o especial_o there_o be_v a_o sovereign_a

or_o a_o gral_v and_o these_o be_v approve_v bait_n for_o the_o salmon_n the_o trout_n because_o he_o be_v a_o dainty_a fish_n and_o also_o a_o very_a fervent_a biter_n he_o be_v the_o next_o that_o i_o mean_v to_o show_v you_o the_o time_n to_o catch_v he_o from_o march_n until_o michaelmas_n he_o lie_v on_o the_o gravel_n and_o in_o a_o stream_n you_o may_v angle_v for_o he_o with_o a_o line_n lie_v or_o run_v save_v in_o leap_v time_n and_o then_o with_o a_o dub_v and_o early_o with_o a_o run_a ground_n line_n and_o in_o the_o day_n time_n with_o a_o float_n line_n you_o shall_v angle_v

also_o it_o be_v good_a to_o angle_v for_o he_o with_o ground_n line_n and_o with_o red_a worm_n for_o the_o most_o part_n and_o in_o april_n take_v the_o same_o bait_n as_o also_o the_o canker_n that_o breed_v in_o a_o great_a tree_n and_o the_o red_a snail_n you_o may_v take_v the_o bobworme_n under_o the_o cowtord_a and_o the_o silk_n worm_n and_o the_o bait_n that_o breed_v on_o the_o
