THE TROUT. 105 Spinning a Minnow, and Bleak. Having found, by long experience, that spinning a Minnow or Bleak is the most killing way of angling for the large or old Trout, in the rivers Thames and Lea, or wherever there are heavy or rapid falls of water wherein Trout are found, I have therefore given, in the following pages, a very full and particular de- scription of the method of fitting tackle

No. 1 -, about three inches above this hook must be placed another piece of gut, about three inches long, to which you will first tie a hook. No. 8 or 9 j this short piece of gut is then to be fastened to the nine-inch piece, as be- fore directed, about three inches above the hook Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Salter, T.
