let_v we_o go_v to_o angle_a with_o a_o fly_n which_o be_v a_o delightful_a sport_n the_o rod_n must_v be_v light_a and_o tender_a if_o you_o can_v fit_v yourself_o with_o a_o hazel_n either_o of_o one_o piece_n or_o two_o set_v together_o in_o the_o most_o convenient_a manner_n light_n and_o gentle_a set_v your_o line_n to_o the_o rod_n for_o the_o uppermost_a part_n you_o may_v use_v your_o own_o discretion_n for_o the_o low_a part_n next_o your_o fly_n must_v be_v of_o three_o or_o four_o haired_a link_n if_o you_o can_v attain_v to_o angle_n with_o one_o hair_n you_o shall_v have_v the_o more_o rise_v and_o kill_v more_o fish_n be_v sure_a you_o do_v not_o over-load_n yourself_o with_o the_o length_n of_o your_o line_n before_o you_o begin_v to_o angle_v make_v a_o trial_n have_v the_o wind_n in_o your_o back_n to_o see_v at_o what_o length_n you_o can_v cast_v your_o fly_n that_o the_o fly_n light_n first_o into_o the_o water_n and_o no_o long_o for_o if_o any_o of_o the_o line_n fall_v into_o the_o water_n before_o the_o fly_n it_o be_v better_a unthrowne_v then_o throw_v be_v sure_a you_o be_v cast_v always_o down_o the_o stream_n with_o the_o wind_n behind_o you_o and_o the_o sun_n before_o it_o be_v a_o special_a point_n to_o have_v the_o sun_n and_o moon_n before_o you_o for_o the_o very_a motion_n of_o the_o rod_n drive_v all_o the_o pleasure_n from_o you_o either_o by_o day_n or_o night_n in_o all_o your_o angle_n both_o for_o worm_n and_o fly_n so_o there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a care_n of_o that_o let_v we_o begin_v to_o angle_n in_o march_n with_o the_o fly_n if_o the_o weather_n prove_v windy_a or_o cloudy_a there_o be_v several_a kind_n of_o palmer_n that_o be_v good_a for_o that_o time_n first_o a_o black_a palmer_n rib_v with_o

and_o a_o red_a hackle_n mix_v with_o orange_n cruel_a these_o fly_n serve_v all_o the_o year_n long_a morning_n and_o evening_n windy_a and_o cloudy_a then_o if_o the_o air_n prove_v bright_a and_o clear_a you_o must_v imitate_v the_o hauthorn_n fly_v which_o be_v all_o black_a and_o very_a small_a and_o the_o small_a the_o better_o in_o may_v take_v the_o may-fly_n imitate_v that_o which_o be_v

with_o a_o mallard_n feather_n according_a to_o the_o fancy_n of_o the_o angler_n there_o be_v another_o call_v the_o oak-fly_n which_o be_v make_v of_o orange_n colour_n cruel_a and_o black_a with_o

which_o be_v green_a imitate_v that_o the_o small_a the_o fly_n be_v make_v and_o of_o indifferent_a small_a hook_n they_o be_v the_o better_a these_o sort_n i_o have_v set_v down_o will_v serve_v all_o the_o year_n long_o observe_v the_o time_n and_o season_n note_v the_o light_a of_o your_o fly_n for_o cloudy_a and_o darkness_n and_o the_o dark_a of_o your_o fly_n for_o lightness_n and_o the_o rest_n for_o indifferent_a time_n that_o a_o man_n own_o judgement_n with_o some_o experience_n and_o discretion_n must_v guide_v he_o if_o he_o mean_v to_o kill_v fish_n he_o must_v alter_v his_o fly_n according_a to_o these_o direction_n now_o of_o late_a i_o have_v find_v that_o hogs-wool_n of_o several_a colour_n make_v good_a ground_n and_o the_o wool_n of_o a_o red_a heifer_n make_v a_o good_a body_n and_o bear_v wool_n make_v a_o good_a ground_n so_o i_o now_o work_n much_o of_o they_o and_o it_o procure_v very_o much_o sport_n the_o natural_a fly_n be_v sure_a angle_a and_o

of_o pleasure_n i_o will_v begin_v to_o angle_n for_o the_o trout_n with_o the_o ground_n bait_n with_o this_o quality_n the_o first_o thing_n you_o must_v gain_v must_v be_v a_o neat_a taper_n rod_n light_v before_o with_o a_o tender_a hazel_n top_n which_o be_v very_o gentle_a if_o you_o desire_v to_o attain_v my_o way_n of_o angle_a for_o i_o have_v angle_v these_o forty_o year_n with_o a_o

may_v kill_v the_o great_a trout_n that_o swim_v with_o sea-room_n he_o that_o angle_n with_o a_o line_n make_v of_o three_o haired_a link_n at_o the_o bottom_n and_o more_o at_o the_o top_n may_v

night_n or_o day_n be_v to_o keep_v out_o of_o the_o sight_n you_o must_v angle_v always_o with_o the_o point_n of_o your_o rod_n down_o the_o stream_n for_o a_o fish_n have_v not_o the_o quickness_n of_o sight_n so_o perfect_a up_o the_o stream_n as_o opposite_a against_o he_o observe_v seasonable_a time_n as_o for_o example_n we_o begin_v to_o angle_v in_o march_n if_o it_o prove_v cloudy_a you_o may_v angle_v with_o the_o ground_n bait_n all_o day_n long_o but_o if_o it_o prove_v bright_a and_o clear_a you_o must_v take_v the_o morning_n and_o evening_n or_o else_o you_o be_v not_o

the_o hook_n which_o cause_v the_o best_a sport_n when_o you_o have_v gather_v your_o worm_n out_o of_o the_o dunghill_n you_o must_v gain_v the_o green_a moss_n you_o can_v find_v then_o wash_v the_o

into_o the_o water_n they_o will_v die_v and_o grow_v white_a now_o the_o skill_n be_v when_o these_o worm_n be_v grow_v poor_a you_o must_v feed_v they_o up_o to_o make_v they_o fat_a and_o lusty_a that_o they_o may_v live_v long_o on_o the_o hook_n that_o be_v the_o chief_a point_n to_o make_v they_o lusty_a and_o fat_a you_o must_v take_v the_o yolk_n of_o a_o egg_n some_o eight_o or_o ten_o
