To take the Salmon.
THe Salmon is a gentle fish, but he is cumbrous to
take: for commonly he is but in déepe places of great
riuers, and commonly in the middest of the riuer: he is in
season from March vnto Michaelmasse, and ye shall angle
to him with a red worme, from the beginning to the en∣ding,
and with the bobbe worme that bréedeth in the dug∣hill:
also there is a soueraigne baite that bréedeth on the
water docke: the Salmon byteth not at the ground, but at
the flote or aboue: ye may also take him with the dubbe
worme at such time when he leapeth, but it hath seldom
séene, and ye shall take him in like manner as ye doe take
the Trout, or Grayling, or the Dace.
