The THE COMPLETE ANGLER. 189 you are to prepare your tackling : concerning which, I will, for sport sake, give you an old rhyme out of an old fish-book, largest are taken after Michaelmas, and their prime season is in. February or March. The baits for Roach not already mentioned, are end-bait and oak-worms, for the spring; in May, ant's eggs, and paste made of the crumb of a new roll, both white, and tinged with red, which is done by putting vermilion into the water, wherewith you moisten it : ...this paste will do for the winter also. The largest Roach in this kingdom are taken in the Thames, where many have been caught of two pounds and a half weight : but Roach of any size are hardly to be come at without a boat. The haunts of Dace are gravelly, sandy, and clayey bottoms ; deep holes that are shaded; water-lily leaves; and under the foam caused by an eddy : in hot weather they are to be found on the shallows, and are then beat taken with an artificial fly, grasshoppers, or gentles, as hereafter directed.
