A64795	The experienc'd angler, or, Angling improv'd being a general discourse of angling, imparting many of the aptest wayes and choicest experiments for the taking of most sorts of fish in pond or river.	Venables, Robert, 1612?-1687.	1662 (1662)	Wing V183; ESTC R16184	35,054	125

in_o the_o water_n but_o you_o may_v help_v that_o in_o have_v new_a and_o strong_a to_o change_v the_o rot_v one_o but_o as_o to_o hair_n the_o most_o usual_a matter_n whereof_o line_n be_v make_v i_o like_v sorrel_n white_a and_o gray_a best_o sorrel_n in_o muddy_a and_o boggy_a river_n both_o the_o other_o for_o clear_a water_n i_o never_o can_v find_v such_o virtue_n or_o worth_n in_o other_o colour_n to_o give_v they_o so_o high_a praise_n as_o some_o do_v yet_o if_o any_o other_o have_v worth_a in_o it_o i_o must_v yield_v it_o to_o the_o pale_a watery_a green_a and_o if_o you_o fancy_n that_o you_o may_v die_v it_o thus_o take_v a_o pottle_n of_o allom_n water_n a_o large_a handful_n of_o marigold_n boil_v they_o until_o a_o yellow_a scum_n arise_v then_o take_v half_a a_o pound_n of_o green_a copperas_n and_o as_o much_o verdegreece_n beat_v they_o into_o a_o fine_a powder_n put_v those_o with_o the_o hair_n into_o the_o allom-water_n set_v all_o to_o cool_v for_o twelve_o hour_n then_o take_v out_o the_o hair_n and_o lay_v it_o to_o dry_a leave_v a_o buy_v or_o bout_n at_o both_o end_n of_o the_o line_n the_o one_o to_o put_v it_o to_o and_o take_v it_o from_o your_o rod_n the_o other_o to_o hang_v your_o low_a link_n upon_o to_o which_o your_o hook_n be_v fasten_v and_o so_o you_o may_v change_v your_o hook_n so_o often_o as_o you_o please_v 3._o let_v your_o hook_n be_v long_o in_o the_o shank_n hook_n and_o of_o a_o compass_n somewhat_o incline_v to_o roundness_n but_o the_o point_n must_v stand_v even_o and_o straight_o and_o the_o bend_n must_v be_v in_o the_o shank_n for_o if_o the_o shank_n be_v straight_o the_o point_n will_v hang_v outward_a though_o when_o set_v on_o it_o stand_v right_a yet_o it_o will_v after_o the_o take_n of_o a_o few_o fish_n cause_v the_o hair_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o shank_n to_o stand_v bend_v and_o so_o by_o consequence_n the_o point_n of_o the_o hook_n to_o lie_v or_o hang_v too_o much_o outward_a whereas_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n the_o bend_a shank_n will_v then_o cause_v the_o point_n of_o the_o hook_n to_o hang_v direct_o upward_o when_o you_o set_v on_o your_o hook_n do_v it_o with_o strong_a but_o small_a silk_n and_o lay_v your_o hair_n upon_o the_o inside_n of_o the_o hook_n for_o if_o on_o the_o outside_n the_o silk_n will_v cut_v and_o fret_v it_o asunder_o and_o to_o avoid_v the_o fret_a of_o the_o hair_n by_o the_o hook_n on_o the_o inside_n smooth_v all_o your_o hook_n upon_o a_o whetstone_n from_o the_o inside_n to_o the_o back_n of_o the_o hook_n slope_n way_n 4._o get_v the_o best_a cork_n you_o can_v without_o flaw_n or_o hole_n quill_n and_o pen_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v the_o strong_a stream_n bear_v the_o cork_n through_o with_o a_o small_a hot_a iron_n float_n then_o put_v into_o it_o a_o quill_n of_o a_o fit_a proportion_n neither_o too_o large_a to_o split_v it_o or_o so_o small_a as_o to_o slip_v out_o but_o so_o as_o it_o may_v stick_v in_o very_o close_o then_o pare_v your_o cork_n into_o the_o form_n of_o a_o pyramid_n or_o small_a pear_n and_o into_o what_o bigness_n you_o please_v then_o upon_o a_o smooth_a grindstone_n or_o with_o a_o pumice_n make_v it_o complete_a for_o you_o can_v pare_v it_o so_o smooth_a as_o you_o may_v grind_v it_o have_v cork_n of_o all_o size_n 5._o get_v a_o musket_n or_o carbine_n bullet_n make_v a_o hole_n through_o it_o water_n and_o put_v in_o a_o strong_a twist_n hang_v this_o on_o your_o hook_n to_o try_v the_o depth_n of_o river_n or_o pond_n 6._o take_v so_o much_o parchment_n as_o will_v be_v about_o four_o inch_n broad_a fly_n and_o five_o long_v make_v the_o long_a end_n round_o then_o take_v so_o many_o piece_n more_o as_o will_v make_v five_o or_o six_o partition_n sow_v they_o all_o together_o leave_v the_o side_n of_o the_o long_o square_v open_a to_o put_v your_o line_n spare_v link_n hook_n ready_a fasten_v and_o fly_v ready_a make_v into_o the_o several_a partition_n this_o will_v contain_v much_o lie_n flat_a and_o close_o in_o your_o pocket_n in_o a_o little_a room_n dull_v 7._o have_v also_o a_o little_a whetstone_n about_o two_o inch_n long_o and_o one_o quarter_n square_a it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o sharpen_v your_o hook_n than_o a_o file_n which_o either_o will_v not_o touch_v a_o well-tempered_a hook_n or_o leave_v it_o rough_a but_o not_o sharp_a necessary_n 8._o have_v a_o piece_n of_o a_o cane_n for_o the_o bob_n and_o palmer_n with_o several_a box_n of_o divers_a size_n for_o your_o hook_n cork_n silk_n thread_n lead_v fly_n etc._n

neat_a and_o exceed_a light_n you_o must_v ever_o carry_v with_o you_o store_n of_o hook_n line_n hair_n silk_n thread_n lead_v link_n cork_n of_o all_o size_n lest_o if_o you_o lose_v or_o break_v

many_o kind_n and_o sort_n of_o fish_n so_o there_o be_v also_o various_a and_o different_a way_n to_o take_v they_o and_o therefore_o before_o we_o proceed_v to_o speak_v how_o to_o take_v each_o kind_n we_o must_v say_v something_o in_o general_n of_o the_o several_a way_n of_o angle_v as_o necessary_a to_o the_o better_a order_n of_o our_o work_n angle_v angle_a therefore_o may_v be_v distinguish_v either_o into_o fish_v by_o day_n or_o which_o some_o commend_v but_o the_o cold_a and_o dew_n cause_v i_o to_o disrellish_a that_o which_o impair_v my_o health_n by_o night_n and_o these_o again_o be_v of_o two_o sort_n either_o upon_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o water_n or_o more_o or_o less_o under_o the_o surface_n thereof_o of_o this_o sort_n be_v angle_v with_o the_o

etc._n etc._n or_o with_o a_o troll_v for_o the_o pike_n or_o a_o menow_n for_o the_o trout_n of_o which_o more_o in_o due_a place_n that_o way_n of_o angle_v upon_o or_o above_o the_o water_n be_v with_o canker_n palmer_n caterpillar_n cadbait_n or_o any_o worm_n breed_v on_o herb_n or_o tree_n or_o with_o fly_n natural_a or_o artificial_a of_o these_o last_o viz_o fly_v shall_v be_v our_o first_o discourse_n as_o comprise_v much_o of_o the_o other_o last_o name_v and_o as_o be_v the_o most_o pleasant_a and_o delightful_a part_n of_o angle_v but_o i_o must_v here_o take_v leave_n to_o dissent_v from_o the_o opinion_n of_o such_o who_o assign_v a_o certain_a fly_n to_o each_o month_n whereas_o i_o be_o certain_a scarce_o any_o one_o sort_n of_o fly_n do_v continue_v its_o colour_n and_o virtue_n one_o month_n and_o general_o all_o fly_v last_o a_o much_o short_a time_n except_o the_o stone_n fly_v which_o some_o call_v the_o may_v fly_v which_o be_v breed_v of_o the_o water-cricket_n which_o creep_v out_o of_o the_o river_n and_o get_v under_o the_o stone_n by_o the_o w●ter_a side_n and_o there_o turn_v to_o a_o fly_n and_o lie_v under_o the_o stone_n the_o may_v fly_v and_o the_o red_a fly_n with_o ashy_a gray_a wing_n beside_o the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n may_v much_o vary_v the_o time_n of_o their_o come_n in_o a_o forward_a spring_n bring_v they_o in_o soon_o and_o a_o late_a spring_n the_o late_a for_o fly_n be_v creature_n breed_v of_o putrefaction_n do_v take_v life_n as_o the_o heat_n do_v further_a or_o dispose_v the_o seminal_a virtue_n by_o which_o they_o be_v generate_v unto_o animation_n and_o therefore_o all_o i_o can_v say_v as_o to_o time_n be_v that_o your_o own_o observation_n must_v be_v your_o best_a instructor_n when_o be_v the_o time_n that_o each_o fly_n come_v in_o and_o will_v be_v most_o acceptable_a to_o the_o fish_n of_o which_o i_o shall_v speak_v more_o full_o in_o the_o next_o section_n further_a also_o i_o have_v observe_v that_o several_a river_n and_o soil_n produce_v several_a sort_n of_o fly_n as_o the_o
