To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For tackle, use about the same as described for carp, and the same groumd-bait will be all that is requisite. Occasionally, when large, they will take a minnow or a frog, but the most tempting baits are doubtless lob worms, cheese, wasp grubs, gentles, and pith, alias the spinal marrow taken from sheep or bullocks. Where the water is perfectly bright, however, my favourite mode is with a fly-rod and black beetle, to attract his attention and pander to his appetite ; and were I called upon to se...lect the most killing bait, it would be the black beetle or a bee. Gently drop the disgusting insect over the covert where he lurks, yourself carefully keeping out of sight ; and his struggles, and the slight circles or ripples caused by the quiver- ing wings, will tempt the prey to rise slowly and in a dignified manner, and leisurely he will suck in the tempting (?) morsel, and find to his astonishment the barb fast in his maw. They abound in the Thames, Colne, and most rivers, and will take better in the morning and evening, as they seldom feed when the sun is on the water, and the fisherman will find that when he has secured one or two, he will have to change his swim, as they soon ''smell a rat, " and are not often to be had on that suit.
