- Yankees fish with fearful bugs,
Rinds of pork and wooden plugs,
Worms of wool, and fearsome eels,
Fixed and multiplying reels,
Rods of every brand of timber,
Stiff and heavy, long and limber,
Hempen lines all full of spots,
Tied with clumsy, awkward knots,
Flies all wings and gaudy hackle,
Every sort of glaring tackle,
Strange to say the fact endures,
That fish in plenty take these lures. The British angler fishes fine,
'Tis difficult to see his line,
His cast is of the type 6X,
His hooks are gilt, size 16, snecks,
All common maggots he'll refuse,
They must be tinted dainty hues,
His worms must be a lovely pink,
And full of wiggle as they sink,
Another of his fancy whims,
Is lots of groundbait in all swims,
There he will sit and watch his float,
Of every flicker taking note,
Then pack his kit in highest dudgeon,
He's fished all day for one small gudgeon.(continues on next page)- Collector
