scholar�察�I have another。 Come�察�do as you did before。 And now I have a bite 

at another。 Oh me�         �he has broke all�此�there's half a line and a good hook 

lost。 

     Venator。 Ay�察�and a good Trout too。 

     Piscator。 Nay�察�the Trout is not lost�察�for pray take notice�察�no man can 

lose what he never had。 

     Venator。 Master�察�I can neither catch with the first nor second angle�此�I 

have no fortune。 

     Piscator。    Look    you�察  �scholar�察  �I  have   yet   another。   And    now�察  �having 

caught three brace of Trouts�察�I will tell you a short tale as we walk towards 

our   breakfast。 A  scholar�察  �a   preacher   I   should   say�察  �that   was   to   preach   to 

procure the approbation of a parish that he might be their lecturer�察�had got 

from his   fellow´pupil the   copy of   a sermon   that was   first preached  with 

great commendation by him that composed it�此�and though the borrower of 

it preached it�察�word for word�察�as it was at first�察�yet it was utterly disliked as 

it   was   preached   by   the   second   to   his   congregation�察  �which   the   sermon´ 

borrower complained of to the lender of it�此�and was thus answered�此 ─�I lent 

you�察�indeed�察�my fiddle�察�but not my fiddle´stick�察�for you are to know�察�that 

every  one   cannot   make   musick   with   my  words�察  �which   are   fitted   for   my 

own     mouth;。     And    so�察 �my    scholar�察  �you    are  to   know�察   �that  as   the  ill 

pronunciation   or   ill   accenting   of   words   in   a   sermon   spoils   it�察  �so   the   ill

carriage of your line�察�or not fishing even to a foot in a right place�察�makes 

you lose your labour�此�and you are to know�察�that though you have my fiddle�察�

that is�察�my very rod and tacklings with which you see I catch fish�察�yet you 

have not my fiddle´stick�察 �that is�察�you   yet have not skill to know how  to 

carry your hand and line�察�nor how to guide it to a right place�此�and this must 

be taught you�察�for you are to remember�察�I told you Angling is an art�察�either 

by practice or a long observation�察�or both。 But take this for a rule�察�When 

you fish for a Trout with a worm�察�let your line have so much�察�and not more 

lead than   will   fit   the stream in   which   you   fish�察  �that is   to   say�察  �more  in   a 

great troublesome stream than in a smaller that is quieter�察�as near as may 

be�察�so much as will sink the bait to the bottom�察�and keep it still in motion�察�

and not more。 

     But now�察�let's say grace�察�and fall to breakfast。 What say you�察�scholar�察�

to the providence of an old angler �拭�Does not this meat taste well�拭�and was 

not this place well chosen to eat it�拭�for this sycamore´tree will shade us 

from the sun's heat。 

     Venator。 All excellent good�察�and my stomach excellent good�察�too。 And 

now I remember�察�and find that true which devout Lessius says�察 ─�that poor 

men�察  �and   those   that   fast   often�察  �have   much   more   pleasure   in   eating   than 

rich men�察�and gluttons�察�that always feed before their stomachs are empty 

of their last meat and call for more�察�for by that means they rob themselves 

of   that   pleasure   that   hunger   brings   to   poor   men;。   And   I   do   seriously 

approve   of   that   saying   of   yours�察   ─  �that   you   had   rather   be   a   civil�察  �well´ 

governed�察 �well´grounded�察  �temperate�察  �poor angler�察  �than   a drunken   lord   ;�此�

but I hope there is none such。 However�察�I am certain of this�察�that I have 

been    at   many   very   costly   dinners     that   have   not  afforded   me   half    the 

content that this has done�察�for which I thank God and you。 

     And now�察�good master�察�proceed to your promised direction for making 

and ordering my artificial fly。 

     Piscator。 My honest scholar�察�I will do it�察�for it is a debt due unto you 

by my promise。 And because you shall not think yourself more engaged to 

me   than   indeed   you   really  are�察  �I   will   freely  give   you   such   directions   as 

were lately given to me by  an ingenious   brother of the angle�察�an honest 

man�察�and a most excellent fly´fisher。

     You are to note�察�that there are twelve kinds of artificial made Flies�察�to 

angle   with   upon   the   top   of   the   water。   Note�察  �by   the   way�察  �that   the   fittest 

season of using these is in a blustering windy day�察�when the waters are so 

troubled that the natural fly cannot be seen�察�or rest upon them。 The first is 

the dun´fly�察  �in   March�此  �the body  is   made   of   dun   wool�察  �the   wings�察  �of   the 

partridge's feathers。 The second is another dun´fly�此�the body�察�of black wool�察�

and the wings made of the black drake's feathers�察�and of the feathers under 

his tail。 The third is the stone´fly�察�in April�此�the body is made of black wool�察�

made yellow under the wings and under the tail�察�and so made with wings 

of   the   drake。   The   fourth   is   the   ruddy´fly�察  �in   the   beginning   of   May�此  �the 

body made of red wool�察�wrapt about with black silk�察�and the feathers are 

the wings of the drake�察�with the feathers of a red capon also�察�which hang 

dangling on his sides next to the tail。 The fifth is the yellow or greenish fly�察�

in May likewise�此�the body made of yellow wool�察�and the wings made of 

the red cock's hackle or tail。 The sixth is the black´fly�察�in May also�此�the 

body made of black wool�察�and lapt about with the herle of a peacock's tail�此�

the wings are made of the wings of a brown capon�察�with his blue feathers 

in his head。 The seventh is the sad yellow´fly in June�此�the body is made of 

black wool�察�with a yellow list on either side�察�and the wings taken off the 

wings   of   a   buzzard�察  �bound   with   black   braked   hemp。   The   eighth   is   the 

moorish´fly�察�made�察�with the body�察�of duskish wool�察�and the wings made of 

the   blackish   mail   of   the   drake。   The   ninth   is   the   t´fly´fly�察  �good   until   the 

middle of June�此�the body made of tawny wool�察�the wings made contrary 

one   against   the   other�察  �made   of   the   whitish   mail   of   the   wild   drake。   The 

tenth is the wasp´fly in July�察�the body made of black wool�察�lapt about with 

yellow silk�察�the wings made of the feathers of the drake�察�or of the buzzard。 

The eleventh is the shell´fly�察�good in mid´July�此�the body made of greenish 

wool�察�lapt about with the herle of a peacock's tail�此�and the wings made of 

the   wings   of   the   buzzard。   The   twelfth   is   the   dark   drake´   fly�察  �good   in 

August�此  �the   body   made   with   black   wool�察 �lapt   about   with   black   silk�察  �his 

wings are made with the mail of the black drake�察�with a black head。 Thus 

have you a jury of flies�察�likely to betray and condemn all the Trouts in the 

river。 

     I shall next give you some other directions for fly´fishing�察�such as are

given by  Mr。 Thomas   Barker�察�a   gentleman   that hath   spent much   time   in 

fishing�此�but I shall do it with a little variation。 

     First�察�let your rod be light�察�and very gentle�此�I take the best to be of two 

pieces。 And let not your line exceed�察�especially for three or four links next 

to the hook�察�I say�察�not exceed three or four hairs at the most�察�though you 

may fish a little stronger above�察�in the upper part of your line�此�but if you 

can   attain   to   angle   with   one   hair�察  �you   shall   have   more   rises�察  �and   catch 

more fish。 Now you must be sure not to cumber yourself with too long a 

line�察�as most do。 And before you begin to angle�察�cast to have the wind on 

your back�察�and the sun�察�if it shines�察�to be before you�察�and to fish down the 

stream�察�and carry the point or top of your rod downward�察�by which means 

the shadow of yourself and rod too�察�will be the least offensive to the fish�察�

for the sight of any shade amazes the fish�察�and spoils your sport�察�of which 

you must take great care。 

     In the middle of March�察�till which time a man should not in honesty 

catch a Trout�察�or in April�察�it the weather be dark�察�or a little windy or cloudy�察�

the best fishing is with the palmer´worm�察�of which I last spoke to you�察�but 

of these there be divers kinds�察�or at least of divers colours�此�these and the 

May´fly are the ground of all fly´angling�此�which are to be thus made�此�

     First�察�you must arm your hook with the line�察�in the inside of it�此�then 

take   your   scissors�察  �and   cut   so   much   of   a   brown   mallard's   feather   as�察  �in 

your own reason�察�will make the wings of it�察�you having�察�withal�察�regard to 

the bigness or littleness of your hook�察�then lay the outmost part of   your 

feather next to your hook�察�then the point of your feather next the shank of 

your hook�察�and�察�having so done�察�whip it three or four times about the hook 

with the same silk with which your hook was armed�察�and having made the 

silk fast�察�take the hackle of a cock or capon's neck�察�or a plover's top�察�which 

is   usually   better�此  �take   off   the   one   side   of   the   feather�察  �and   then   take   the 

hackle�察�silk or crewel�察�gold or silver thread�察�make these fast at the bent of 

the hook�察�that is to say�察�below your arming�察�then you must take the hackle�察�

the   silver   or   gold   thread�察  �and   work   it   up   to   the   wings�察  �shifting   or   still 

removing your finger as you turn the silk about the hook�察�and still looking�察�

at every stop or turn�察�that your gold�察�or what materials soever you make 

your fly of�察�do lie right and neatly�察�and if you find they do so�察�then when
