THe Tench is a fish that féedeth at the bottom, and most parte of the yeare among the mudde, and most he stir∣reth in the monethes of Iune and Iuly, and in other times of the yeare but little: the Tench is an euill byter, and very subtill to take with the angle, his common baites are these, for all the yeare they take browne bread tosted and smea∣red
with hony in likenesse of a buttered toste, also they take the great red worme, and for a chiefe baite, take the blacke bloud in the hart of a shéepe, and mixe it with flower and hony, and temper them all together something softer then pappe or paste, and annoint therewith your red worme on your hooke: it is very good both for this kinde of fish, and for other also, and they will byte thereat much the better at all times.
