We are not the supreme and all-knowing beings, living at the top of the pinnacle of evolution, but in fact we are members of the sacred hoop of life, along with the trees and rocks, the coyote and the eagles and fish and toads, that each fulfills its purpose. They each perform their given task in the sacred hoop, and we have one too. – Abenaki Wolf SongWatching the seemingly ceaseless parade of weather disasters can make you see the Earth as in a world of hurt.

What is it about fall that makes me want to cook? Perhaps it’s the cool, crisp air that makes baking enjoyable. Maybe fall cooking is about enjoying the bounty of the gardens, woods, and fields. It could be that fall is also the start of the season that involves family and friends getting together. For me, it’s all of the above. Sure, I cook throughout the year. I grill, barbecue, and smoke meats and fish, but fall is different. I hate baking in summer because of the heat.

Learn fly fishing basics, getting started with rod, line, tippets and leaders, flies, nets, casting, and retrieving. I’m not one of those people who fishes for sport. When I fish, it’s usually to put food on the table. If you’re of like mind, you’ll find that fly-fishing isn’t the most efficient way to make that happen. But, I’ve found, there’s something mystical, almost Zen-like, about using a fly rod.
