" Tlie Grubs are to be baited thus: It will be necessary to wrap on a piece of stiff hair or gut, with your arming, leaving it standing out about a straw's breadth at the end of your hook. The hook is to be put in under the head or chaps of the bait, and guided down the middle of the belly, without suffering it to peep out of the way, (for then the ash-grub, especially, will issue out water and milk till nothing but the skin shall remain, and the bend of the hook shall appear black through it,) till the point of your ho k come so low that the head of your bait may rest, and stick upon the hair or gut that stand out to hold it, by which means it can neither slip of it self, neither will the force of the stream, nor quick pulling out upon any mistake, strip it off.

OF PASTES FOR BAIT. Pastes are considered of much importance in England, in taking carp, chub, dace, perch, and trout. Some of them have been tried with success in many of our own brooks and ponds.
