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. \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. His battle to preserve them from a daunting array of natural and unnatural forces amuses even as it instructs and inspires.\" --Ted Williams, outdoor writer and environmental journalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lyons Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493032082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Stephen Sautner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52750085554357,"sku":"9781493032082","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-cast-in-the-woods-a-story-of-fly-fishing-fracking-and-floods-in-the-heart-of-trout-country-9781493032082","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
