The Marsh Worm- When taken from the earth this worm is a pale-blue colour with a whitish knot a little above the centre. It is a very small worm, and is more usually found too small than too large. If kept sufficiently long it becomesTheof a lively pink colour, and may be used with great success, particularly in small waters. The red-head worm. This worm is only to be found plentifully in the very richest soil, about the edges of dunghills and similar places. It is of a dark-red colour on the head and all down the back, and of a pale-blue colour underneath. A bait for trout it does not deserve much attention. It is so thick in proportion to its length, that if it is sufficiently long to cover the hook, it makes too large a bait.
