tackle_n as_o single_a hair_n for_o half_a the_o line_n next_o the_o hook_n round_o and_o small_a plume_a according_a to_o his_o float_v for_o the_o bait_n there_o be_v a_o small_a red_a worm_n with_o a_o yellow_a tip_n on_o his_o tail_n which_o be_v very_o good_a brandlins_n gentle_n paste_n or_o cadice_n which_o we_o call_v cock-bait_n they_o lie_v in_o a_o gravelly_a husk_n under_o the_o stone_n in_o the_o river_n these_o be_v the_o most_o special_a bait_n for_o these_o kind_n of_o fish_n there_o be_v a_o manner_n of_o troll_a for_o a_o pike_n with_o a_o hazel-rod_n of_o twelve_o foot_n long_o with_o a_o ring_n of_o wyre_n in_o the_o top_n of_o the_o rod_n for_o the_o line_n to_o run_v through_o within_o two_o foot_n of_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o rod_n there_o be_v a_o hole_n make_v to_o put_v in_o a_o wind_n to_o turn_v with_o a_o barrel_n to_o gather_v up_o the_o line_n and_o to_o loose_v it_o at_o pleasure_n this_o be_v the_o best_a manner_n of_o troll_a but_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o i_o can_v show_v a_o way_n either_o in_o mere_a pond_n or_o river_n that_o shall_v take_v more_o pike_n than_o any_o trouler_n with_o his_o rod._n and_o thus_o it_o be_v first_o take_v a_o fork_a stick_n a_o line_n of_o twelve_o yard_n long_a word_n upon_o it_o at_o the_o upper_a end_n leave_v about_o a_o yard_n either_o to_o tie_v a_o bunch_n of_o sages_n or_o a_o bladder_n to_o buoy_v up_o the_o fish_n and_o to_o carry_v it_o from_o the_o ground_n the_o bait_n must_v be_v a_o live_a fish_n either_o dace_n gudgin_n roach_n or_o a_o small_a trout_n the_o fork_a stick_n must_v have_v a_o slit_n in_o the_o one_o side_n of_o the_o fork_n to_o put_v in_o the_o line_n that_o he_o may_v set_v his_o live_a fish_n to_o swim_v at_o a_o gage_n that_o when_o the_o pike_n take_v the_o bait_n he_o may_v have_v the_o full_a liberty_n of_o the_o line_n for_o his_o feed_n he_o may_v turn_v these_o loose_a either_o in_o the_o pond_n or_o the_o river_n in_o the_o pond_n with_o the_o wind_n all_o the_o day_n long_o the_o more_o the_o better_o at_o night_n let_v he_o set_v some_o small_a weight_n that_o may_v stay_v the_o buoy_z as_o a_o ship_n lie_v at_o anchor_n till_o the_o fish_n take_v for_o the_o river_n he_o must_v turn_v all_o loose_a with_o the_o stream_n two_o or_o three_o be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v pleasure_n gage_v at_o such_o a_o depth_n as_o that_o they_o will_v go_v current_n down_o the_o river_n where_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o doubt_n of_o excellent_a sport_n if_o there_o be_v pike_n for_o the_o hook_n they_o must_v be_v double_a hook_n the_o shank_n must_v be_v somewhat_o short_a than_o ordinary_a my_o reason_n the_o short_a the_o hook_n be_v of_o the_o shank_n it_o will_v hurt_v the_o fish_n the_o less_o and_o it_o must_v be_v arm_v with_o small_a wire_n well_o soften_v but_o i_o hold_v a_o hook_n arm_v with_o twist_a silk_n to_o be_v better_o if_o you_o arm_v your_o hook_n with_o wyre_n the_o needle_n must_v be_v make_v with_o a_o eye_n then_o must_v he_o take_v one_o of_o those_o bait_n alive_a which_o he_o can_v get_v and_o with_o one_o of_o his_o needle_n enter_v within_o a_o straw_n breadth_n of_o the_o gill_n of_o the_o fish_n so_o pull_v the_o needle_n betwixt_o the_o skin_n and_o the_o fish_n then_o pull_v the_o needle_n out_o at_o the_o hindmost_a fin_n and_o draw_v the_o arm_n through_o the_o fish_n until_o the_o hook_n come_v to_o lie_v close_o to_o the_o fish_n body_n but_o i_o hold_v for_o those_o that_o be_v arm_v with_o wyre_n to_o take_v off_o the_o hook_n and_o put_v the_o needle_n in_o the_o hindmost_a fin_n and_o so_o to_o come_v out_o at_o the_o gill_n then_o let_v he_o put_v on_o the_o hook_n draw_v close_o to_o the_o body_n it_o will_v hurt_v the_o live_a fish_n the_o less_o so_o knit_v the_o arm_n with_o the_o live_a fish_n to_o the_o line_n then_o let_v he_o put_v off_o either_o in_o mere_a or_o pond_n with_o the_o wind_n in_o the_o river_n with_o the_o stream_n the_o more_o that_o he_o pull_v off_o in_o mere_a or_o pond_n he_o be_v the_o likely_a to_o have_v the_o great_a pleasure_n there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o pike_n go_v a_o frog_a ditch_n and_o in_o
