To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When angling for Eels with a floated line, those made of twisted gut, strong single gut, or twisted hair, are to be preferred; any common rod, of sufficient length, will do, because Eels will generally goi^e the bait and hook themselves; put a cork float on the line, and use a No. 8 hook, and bait with a piece of Digitized by VjOOQ IC THE EEL. 123 lob woniiy half a marsh wonn^ or a whole red worm or small brandling: let the baited hook lay on the ground, which yoa maj tell is the case if the fl...oat lies upon its nde on the water, instead of standing up. When Eels bite, they will draw the float under water ; there let it remain a moment, then strike, and lift, or weigh out your prize. If you put more than one hook on your line, place them about a foot apart. — Note, immediately you get an Eel on shore, clap your foot on it, and there keep it, till you have separated its back- bone with a knife, or a pair of scissors, which you should always have ready, when fishing for Eels ; for immediately an Kel is taken from the water, it coils up, and twists your line in numerous knots, which can only be prevented by cutting through its back-bone ; you may then take away the hook without danger.
