Every year, about a month out from the official beginning of the autumn season, I like to throw a little feast called the "Autumn Preview", which is typically a meal that would be otherwise classified as one of those "Hearty, warm meal on a crisp autumn night" deals in any recipe book or page.
While the big autumn welcoming meal in late September is always the same (Beef stew with homemade biscuits accompanied by a pumpkin cheesecake at the end!), the preview dinner always changes. And this year, I've decided on a one-pot meal: Beef Pot Roast. Consisting of chuck roast, carrots, onions, baby potatoes and celery.
Once I got the meal started I had headed out to do some fishing with my new lures and stuff.
Though summer is still ongoing, the signs of its eventual demise are starting to appear all around. Both in the flora, the general atmosphere - particularly in the events - and the way fish are biting. The changes are subtle right now and if you aren't generally conscious of such things you may miss it, but it's happening and it is beautiful. The changing of seasons is such a wonderful thing to behold.
It pays to pay attention to nature.
The biggest and best of my catches that morning was on the Crickhopper grasshoper lure from Rebel. A very nice sized Sunfish that put up a really good fight. It was an absolute treat bringing this guy in.
