A02281	Havvking, hunting, fouling, and fishing, with the true measures of blowing A vvorke right pleasant and profitable for all estates, vvhoso loueth it to practise, and exceeding delightfull, to refresh the irksomnesse of tedious time. Whereunto is annexed the maner and order in keeping of hawkes, their diseases, and cures: and all such speciall poynts, as any wise apperraine to so gentlemanlike qualitie. now newly collected by W.G. faulkener. Pulblicum comodum priuato preferendum.; Boke of Saint Albans	Berners, Juliana, b. 1388?; Gryndall, William.	1596 (1596)	STC 12412; ESTC S112449	53,206	89

with misféeding shee will haue the frounce and many other diseases that bringeth to souce Thus by proofe this is not the best disport and game of the sayd foure In my opinion the game of Fouling is the simplest for in Winter in cold weather the Fouler can doe no good but in the hardest and coldest weather which is greeuous for when he would goe to his ginnes hee cannot for colde manie a deuise hee maketh and yet in the morning his fortune is hard when hee is wet vp to the waste Manie discommodities I could shewe but for offending I let them passe Then sith it is so that Hawking Hunting and Fouling bee so laborous that none of them may bee a meane to a merrie spirit which is the cause of long life vnto the sayings of the wise in his Parables doubtlesse then it must followe that fishing with the Angle is most delectable for all other are troublesome and laberous For in some kinde of fishing it maketh the Fisher through wet and so colde that many and sundrie times there insueth diuers infirmities through the same But the Angler hee hath no colde no disease no impediment except it bee through himselfe for hee can lose but a Line or a Hooke at the most which hee may make againe at his owne leisure as he shall be taught hereafter So then is not his losse greeuous if the fish breake away with his Hooke that is the most for and he faile of one hee hitteth of another and if hee quite faile yet hee hath his wholesome walkes his pleasant shades the sweete ayre the excellent smelles of the sweete Medowe flowers which maketh him hungrie hee heareth the melodious Harmonie of Birdes and other Foules which hee thinketh is better then the noise of Hounds the blast of Horns or all the cry that Hunters Faulkners or Foulers can make and if the Angler doe take fish then hath hée a mercy spirit and a glad heart But who so will vse this exercise hee must rise carely which is profitable to man for the health of his bodie For as the olde English Prouerbe is who so dooth rise carely shall be holie healthie and happie Thus I haue shewed in this Treatise that this disport and game of Angling is the very meane to induce a man to a merrie spirit And to the content of all those that haue delight in these exercises I haue collected this Treatise following which you may vse at your pleasure IF you will bee perfite in this art of Angling you must first learne to make your Implements that is to say your Rod and your Lines of diuers colours This done you must know how you must angle and in what place of the water how déep and at what time of the day and for what maner of Fish and what weather how many impediments there be in fishing and speciallie in Angling and what baite belongeth to euerie fish euerie time of the yeare And how you shall make your baites breede where you shall finde them and how you shall keepe them for the most part How you shall make your Hookes of Steele and of Osmonde some for the Dub some for the Flote and for the ground And here I will teach you how you shall make your Rod you shall cut it betweene Michalmas and Candlemas of an ell and a halfe long beeing the arme of a great Hasell Willow or Aspe and beth him in a whote Ouen and set it euen and straight and let it cole a moneth then take a corde and bind it fast about and binde it to a fourme or to a peece of square timber then take a Plummers wyer that is euen and streight and sharpe the one ende and heate it in the fire and Charcole and burne the hole quite through in the pith beginning at both endes and goe on too the middle you may burne the hole with a Bird broch but let the last broch bée bigger then any of them before then let it lie and coole two daies vnbinde it and let it lie in the smoke or the roufe of a house till it bee through drie In the same season cut a yard of greene Hasell and beth it euen and straigh and let it drie with the staffe and when it is drie make it fit for the hole in the staffe vnto the halfe length of the staffe and to fill the other halfe of the crop take a faire shute of Black thorne Crab tree Medler or els of Iuniper cut in the same season and well bethed and straight and set them fit together so that the crop may enter all into the sayde hole then shaue your staffe and make it Tapar wise then hoope the staffe at both endes with long hoopes of yron or latten after the cleanliest maner and a pike in the nether end fastened with a running wyer to take in and out of your staffe and set your crop a handfull within your vpper end of your staffe in such wise that it bee as biggethere as in anie other place aboue then arme your staffe downe to the fret with a Line of sixe heares and dubble the Line and fret it fast on with a peece of a bowe And thus you shall make you a staffe to walke with and no man may knowe whether you haue such Implements about you It will bée very light and nimble to fish with at your pleasure and is alwaies very ready and necessarie AFter you haue thus made your Rod you must learne to colour your Lines of heare after this manner You must take of a white Horse taile the longest heares you can get and the bigger and rounder it is the better it is depart them in sixe parts and colour euery part by himselfe in diuers colours as yeallowe greene tawnie browne russet or duskie colour And for to make your heare take a good creene colour you must take a quart of Ale and put into it halfe a pound of Allom and put your heare and all together in a little pan and let them boyle sofly halfe an hower then take out your heare and let them drie then take a pottle of faire water and put it into a pan and two handfulles of Wexen and presse it with a Tyle stone and let it boyle softly the space of an hower and when it is yeallowe on the skumme put therein your heares with halfe a pound of Copperous beaten into powder and let it boyle the space of going of halfe a mile and then set it downe and let it coole the space of fiue or sixe howers then take out the heare and drie it and it will bée the best greene for the water that can bee and the more that you put of Copperous to it the better it will be For to make your heare yeallowe DResse it as before with Allom and after with Oldes or Waxen with Copperous or Verdigreace To make another yeallow TAke a pottle of small Ale and stampe thereinto three handfulles of Walnut leaues and put it

together and then put in your heare that it be as déepe as you will haue it For to make Russet heare TAke a pint of strong Lée and halfe a pound of Sote and a little Iuice of Walnut leaues and a quart of Allom put them altogether in a Pan and boile them well and when it is cold put in your heare till it be as darke as you will haue it To make your heare browne TAke strong Ale and Sault and mingle them together and put your heares two daies and two nights and they will bee a perfect colour For to make a tawny colour TAke Lime and water and put them together and then put your heares therein foure or fiue houres then take them out and put them into a Tanners Ose one day and it will be as fine a tawny colour as can be for your purpose The sixt part of your heare you shall keepe still white for lines for the double hooke to fish for the Trout for small lines to lie for the Roche and the Dace When your heare is thus collected you must knowe for which waters and which seasons they shall serue the greene cullour for all cleare waters from Aprill vntill September The yellowe cullour in euery cleare water from September to Nouember For it is like the Weedes and other kinde of grasse that is broken in the Riuer The russet cullour serueth all the Winter vntill the ende of Aprill as well in Riuers as in Pooles or lakes The browne cullour serueth for the water that is blackish in Riuers or other waters the tawny cullours for those riuers or waters that be heathy or morish Now you must make your lines after this order First you must haue an inscrument for the twisting of your line Take your heare and cut off a handfull at the ende because it is not strong enough then turne the top to the tayle ouer each alike and make it into three parts and knit euerie part by himselfe and knit the other end altogether then put that end fast into your instrument into the clift and make it fast with a wedge fower fingers shorter then your heare then twine your warpe one way alike and fasten them in three cliftes alike straight then take that out at the other end and let it twine that way that it desireth then streine it a little and knit it for vndoing and that is good So when you haue so manie links as will suffice for a line to make it long enough then must you knit them together with a water knot or a Dutch knot and when your knot is knit cut of the voyde shore endes a strawe breadth from the knot thus shall your lines be fayre and euen and also sure for any maner of Fish The finest practise is in making your hockes and for the making of them you may haue your seuerall kinde of tooles that you may doe them artificiallie A semy clam of yron a bendor a payre of long and small tongues and a knife somewhat hard and thicke an Anuild and a little hammer And for a small Fish you shall take the smallest quarrell Needles that you can find of Steele and you shall put the Quarrell in a fyre of Charcole till it bee of the same cullour that the fire is then take it out and lay it to coole and you shall find it well alayd to file then rayse the beard with your knife and make the poynt sharpe then alay him againe or else hee will breake in the bending then bend him as hée will serue for your purpose you shall make them of great Needles as shoomakers Needles Taylers needles or imbroderers Needles but looke that they will bowe at the point or els they bee not good and when you haue beaten flat the end of the hooke fyle him smooth that it fret not the line the put it into the fire and giue it an easie red heat then suddainly quench it in water and it will bée hard and strong And for to haue knowledge of your Instruments that bee necessarie without the which you are not able to accomplish your desire that is your Hammer Knife Pynson Claem Wedge File Wrest and a Needle When you haue made your hookes then you must set them on according to their strength and greatnesse First take small red silke and if it bee for a great hooke then double it and twist it and for a small hooke let it be single and therewith fret the line where as you will haue the hooke stand a strawe breadth then set to your hooke and fret it with the same thred the two partes of the length that it shall bee fret in all and when you come to the third part then turne the end of your line vp again double to the other third part then put your thred in at the hole twise or thrise and let it goe each time about the yeard of your hooke then wette the hooke and drawe and looke that your line lie euermore within your hookes and not without and then cut of the lines end and the thred as nigh as you can sauing the fret So yee knowe with how great Hookes you shall angle to euery fish now I will tell with how many heares you shall angle for euerie fish First for the Menowe with a line of one heare For the waring Roche the Bleake the Gogion and the Ruffe with a line of three heares For the Dace and the Roch with a line of three heares For the Pearch the Flounder and Bremet with a line of foure heares For the Cheuin the Breame the Tench and the Eele with sixe heares For the Troute and the grasing Barble and the great Cheuin with nine heares For the great Troute with twelue heares For the Salmon with fifteene heares and for a Pyke with a chalke line made in the colour aforesayd armed with a line as you shall heare hereafter When I speake of the Pyke your Lines must bee plumed with lead and the nearest plumbe to the Hooke bee a foote of at the least and euery plumbe of the quantitie of the bignesse of the line There be thrée maner of plumbes for a ground line renning and for the slote set vpon the ground line lying ten plumbs all ioyning together on the ground line renning nine or ten small the flote plumbe shall be heauie that the first plucke of any fish may pull it into the water and make your plumbes round and smooth that they sticke not on stones and wéedes THen you shall make your slotes in this manner Take a peece of a Corke that is cleane without holes and bore it through with a small hote yron and put thereinto a quill or pen euen and straight alwaies note that the greater the hole the bigger the pen and shape it great in the middest and small at both ends and especiallie sharpe in the nether end and make them smooth on a Grindstone and looke that the flote for one heare be no bigger then
