YE shall here vnderstand there be twelue manner of impediments or lets which causeth a man to take no fish, without other cunning that may happe by casualtie. The first is if your harnesse or lynes be not fitly made▪ the second is, if your baites be not good nor fine: the third is, when that ye angle not in the byting time: the fourth is, if that your fish be fearefull of the sight of man: the fift is, if the water be very thicke, white or redde by any floud late
falen: the sixt is, if the fish for colde doe not stirre abroade: the seuenth is, if the wether then be too hote: the eight is, if it be in rainy wether: the nynth is, if then haile or snow do fall: the tenth is, if it be in any tempest: the eleuenth is, if then it be a great winde: the twelfth is, if the winde blow from the East, for that is worst, and commonly neither winter nor summer the fish will then byte: the West and North windes be good, but the South winde best of all.
