Little did he know what loomed: a series of historical floods, a land rush over fracking for natural gas, and constant battles with invasive species, plagues of insects, and other pests. He takes on all of these threats - between casts for wild trout and other gamefish - and along the way gains a better understanding of stewardship and the interconnectedness between angling and the natural world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePraise for A Cast in the Woods: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"New York State's ban on fracking was one of the great triumphs of modern environmentalism, and behind it lay a thousand individual stories of resistance. None has been better told than this one, by a worthy Catskills heir to the literary tradition of John Burroughs and a man who has earned his fishing.\"--Bill McKibben, author Radio Free Vermont \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"If you love wild woods and wild trout, Sautner's word magic will transport you to the best of both.
