  2. Fish and Fishing

    Share Share Post
    Fish + Fishing.
    1 Fish don't take in hard dry weather, nor after a frosty night. In a thunder storm they lie on the bottom of the river.
    2 The oil of eels is good for sore ears.
    3 Salmon change fresh water to the sea. In the fresh water a scum gathers on their teeth when they go to the salt water it cuts this off their teeth.
    4 After a flood there is alway a good catch of fish.
