and toast it�察�and then tie it on the hook with fine silk。 And some advise to 

fish for the Barbel with sheep's tallow and soft cheese�察�beaten or worked 

into a paste�察�and that it is choicely good in August�此�and I believe it。 Rut�察�

doubtless�察    �the   lob´  worm     well   scoured�察   �and   the  gentle    not  too   much 

scoured�察  �and   cheese   ordered   as   I   have   directed�察  �are   baits   enough�察  �and   I 

think   will   serve   in   any   month�此  �though   I   shall   commend   any   angler   that 

tries conclusions�察�and is industrious to improve the art And now my honest 

scholar�察�the long shower and my tedious discourse are both ended together�此�

and I shall give you but this observation�察�that when you fish for a Barbel�察�

your rod and line be both long and of good strength�察�for�察�as I told you�察�you 

will find him a heavy and a dogged fish to be dealt withal�察�yet he seldom 

or never breaks his hold�察�if he be once strucken。 And if you would know 

more of fishing for the Umber or Barbel�察�get into favour with Dr。 Sheldon�察�

whose   skill   is   above   others�察  �and   of   that�察  �the   poor   that   dwell   about   him 

have a comfortable experience。 

     And   now   let's   go   and   see   what   interest   the   Trouts   will   pay   us�察  �for 

letting our angle´rods lie so long and so quietly in the water for their use。 

Come�察�scholar�察�which will you take up �拭�

     Venator。 Which you think fit�察�master。 

     Piscator。 Why�察�you shall take up that�察�for I am certain�察�by viewing the 

line�察�it has a fish at it。 Look you�察�scholar� �well done� �Come�察�now take up 

the other too�此�well� �now you may tell my brother Peter�察�at night�察�that you 

have caught a leash of Trouts this day。 And now let's move towards our 

lodging�察�and drink a draught of red´cow's milk as we go�察�and give pretty 

Maudlin and her honest mother a brace of Trouts for their supper。 

     Venator。  Master�察  �I   like   your   motion   very  well�此  �and   I   think   it   is   now 

about milking´time�察�and yonder they be at it 

     Piscator。 God speed you�察�good woman � �I thank you both for our songs 

last night�此�I and my companion have had such fortune a´fishing this day�察�

that we resolve to give you and Maudlin a brace of Trouts for supper�察�and 

we will now taste a draught of your red´cow's milk。 

     Milk´woman。 Marry�察�and that you shall with all my heart�察�and I will be 

still your debtor when you come this way。 If you will but speak the word�察�I 

will   make   you   a   good   syllabub   of   new   verjuice�察  �and   then   you   may   sit

                 The fourth day´continued 



                     Of the Gudgeon�察�the Ruffe�察�and the Bleak 



                                     Chapter XV 



                                          Piscator 

     The   GUDGEON   is   reputed   a   fish   of   excellent   taste�察  �and   to   be   very 

wholesome。 He is of a fine shape�察�of a silver colour�察�and beautified with 

black spots both on his body and tail。 He breeds two or three times in the 

year�察  �and   always   in   summer。   He   is   commended   for   a   fish   of   excellent 

nourishment。 The Germans call him Groundling�察�by reason of his feeding 

on   the   ground�察  �and   he   there   feasts   himself�察  �in   sharp   streams   and   on   the 

gravel。 He and the Barbel both feed so�此�and do not hunt for flies at any 

time�察  �as   most   other   fishes   do。   He   is   an   excellent   fish   to   enter   a   young 

angler�察�being easy to be taken with a small red worm�察�on or very near to 

the ground。 He is one of those leather´mouthed fish that has his teeth in his 

throat�察�and will hardly be lost off from the hook if he be once strucken。 

     They be usually scattered up and down every river in the shallows�察�in 

the heat of summer�此�but in autumn�察�when the weeds begin to grow sour 

and rot�察�and the weather colder�察�then they gather together�察�and get into the 

deeper parts of the water�察�and are to be fished for there�察�with your hook 

always touching the ground�察�if you fish for him with a float or with a cork。 

But many will fish for the Gudgeon by hand�察�with a running line upon the 

ground�察�without a cork�察�as a Trout is fished for�此�and it is an excellent way�察�

if you have a gentle rod�察�and as gentle a hand。 

     There is also another fish called a POPE�察�and by some a RUFFE�察�a fish 

that is not known to be in some rivers�此�he is much like the Perch for his 

shape�察�and taken to be better than the Perch�察�but will not grow to be bigger 

than    a  Gudgeon。     He   is  an  excellent   fish�察 �no   fish  that  swims    is  of  a 

pleasanter taste。 And he is also excellent to enter a young angler�察�for he is 

a greedy biter�此  �and they  will usually lie�察 �abundance of   them together�察 �in 

one reserved place�察�where the water is deep and runs quietly�察�and an easy 

angler�察   �if  he  has   found   where    they   lie�察 �may   catch   forty   or  fifty�察 �or

sometimes twice so many�察�at a standing。 

     You   must   fish   for   him   with   a   small   red   worm�察  �and   if   you   bait   the 

ground with earth�察�it is excellent。 

     There   is   also   a   BLEAK   or   fresh´water   Sprat�察  �a   fish   that   is   ever   in 

motion�察  �and   therefore   called   by   some   the   river´swallow�察  �for   just   as   you 

shall observe the swallow to be�察�most evenings in summer�察�ever in motion�察�

making   short   and   quick   turns   when   he   flies   to   catch   flies�察  �in the   air�察  �by 

which he lives�察�so does the Bleak at the top of the water。 Ausonius would 

have called him Bleak from his whitish colour�此�his back is of a pleasant 

sad or sea´water´green�察�his belly�察�white and shining as the mountain snow。 

And   doubtless�察  �though   we   have   the   fortune�察  �which   virtue   has   in   poor 

people�察�to be neglected�察�yet the Bleak ought to be much valued�察�though we 

want Allamot   salt�察  �and   the  skill   that   the   Italians   have�察  �to   turn   them   into 

anchovies。 This fish may be caught with a Pater´noster line�察�that is�察�six or 

eight very small hooks tied along the line�察�one half a foot above the other�此�

I   have   seen   five   caught   thus   at   one   time�察  �and   the   bait   has   been   gentles�察�

than which none is better。 

     Or this fish may be caught with a fine small artificial fly�察�which is to 

be of a very sad brown colour�察�and very small�察�and the hook answerable。 

There is no better sport than whipping for Bleaks in a boat�察�or on a bank�察�

in the swift water�察�in a summer's evening�察�with a hazel top about five or six 

foot long�察�and a line twice the length of the rod。 I have heard Sir Henry 

Wotton   say�察  �that   there   be   many   that   in   Italy   will   catch   swallows   so�察  �or 

especially martins�察�this bird´angler standing on the top of a steeple to do it�察�

and with the line twice so long as I have spoken of。 And let me tell you�察�

scholar�察�that both Martins and Bleaks be most excellent meat 

     And   let   me   tell   you�察  �that   I   have known   a   Heron�察 �that   did   constantly 

frequent   one   place�察  �caught   with   a   hook   baited   with   a   big   minnow   or   a 

small gudgeon。 The line and hook must be strong�此�and tied to some loose 

staff�察�so big as she cannot fly away with it�此�a line not exceeding two yards。

     Piscator。   My   purpose   was   to    give   you   some   directions   concerning 

ROACH and DACE�察�and some other inferior fish which make the angler 

excellent sport�察�for you know there is more pleasure in hunting the hare 

than in eating her�此�but I will forbear�察�at this time�察�to say any more�察�because 

you   see   yonder   come   our   brother   Peter   and   honest   Coridon。   But   I   will 

promise you�察�that as you and I fish and walk to´ morrow towards London�察�

if I have now forgotten anything that I can then remember�察�I will not keep 

it from you。 

     Well met�察�gentlemen�察�this is lucky that we meet so just together at this 

very door�察�Come�察�hostess�察�where are you �拭�is supper ready �拭�Come�察�first 

give us a drink�察�and be as quick as you can�察�for I believe we are all very 

hungry。 Well�察�brother Peter   and Coridon�察�to you   both� �Come�察�drink�此  �and 

then tell me what luck of fish�此�we two have caught but ten bouts�察�of which 

my scholar   caught   three。 Look�   �here's   eight�察�and   a   brace we   gave   away。 

We have had a most pleasant day for fishing and talking�察�and are returned 

home both weary and hungry�察�and now meat and rest will be pleasant。 

     Peter。 And   Coridon   and   I   have not   had   an   unpleasant   day�此  �and   yet   I 

have   caught   but   five   bouts�察  �for�察  �indeed�察  �we   went   to   a   good   honest   ale´ 

house�察�and there we played at shovel´board half the day�察�all the time that it 

rained we were there�察�and as merry as they that fished。 And I am glad we 

are   now   with   a   dry   house   over   our   heads�察  �for�察  �hark   �   �how   it   rains   and 

blows。 Come�察�hostess�察�give us more ale�察�and our supper with what haste 

you may�此�and when we have supped�察�let us have your song�察�Piscator�察�and 

the catch that your scholar promised us�察�or else�察�Coridon will be dogged。 

     Piscator。 Nay�察�I will not be worse than my word�察�you shall not want 

my song�察�and I hope I shall be perfect in it
