Excerpt from The Young Anglers Companion: Giving a Description of All the Different Methods of Angling, the Best Baits and Tackle, as Well as the Times and Seasons for Using Them This Treatise on angling contains an accurate, but condens'd account of all the approved methods given by the most esteem'd authors on the subject, with such improvements as thirty years experience of the writer can impart; here you will find the theory of the art, but practice is an absolute requisite to make a good angler. The author of the following pages, having tried all the different methods recommended, under various circumstances, enables him to retain only such, as are likely to increase the success of his brother sportsmen. It is only to such of my readers (if any) who believe in witchcraft, that I could recommend the ridiculous mummery retain din many works, that pretend to entice the fish from their native element, the component parts being only fit for the cauldron of Macbeth's Witches. With the more reasonable devices, such as Cherries, Green Peas, Earth Grubs, c.I have never succeeded so well as with the baits recommended in this work; the so much praised, spawn of the Salmon, does not succeed, only in such rivers as are frequented by them. If the reader will pay attention to the rules laid down in this work, I have no doubt he will soon be able to compete with the more experienced sportsman.
