His latest book, \u003ci\u003eEvery Cast: Stories from a Deeply Hooked Angler\u003c\/i\u003e gathers more than 60 essays, blending previously published work with more than a dozen new stories. Whether fly fishing for trout, salmon, or bonefish, surfcasting for striped bass, ice fishing for perch, or remembering lost fishing friends, Sautner's insightful, sometimes poignant, and often humorous observations underscore what Thoreau meant when he wrote: \"Many men go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSautner freely embraces his compulsion. As he writes in the book's introduction: \"They are out there, right now, casting in plain view. . . These are the fish-junkies-angling's version of meth heads. They are forever chasing the dopamine jolt that comes from the perfect cast, the perfect rise, the perfect release. The perfect . . . I know because I am one of them.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe far-reaching stories in \u003ci\u003eEvery Cast\u003c\/i\u003e include casting for wild trout in the familiar Catskill Mountains-the birthplace of American fly fishing-to more exotic locations such as the Alaskan backcountry, Canadian Rockies, and even the Panama Canal. Sautner casts and writes with equal enthusiasm, whether stalking bonefish on a lonely Bahamian flat or chasing schools of striped bass on a beach crowded with scores of his fellow anglers. His stories are not only about angling adventure, but also what can happen between casts: dealing with a surly fishing guide, insect hatches declining on a favorite stream, even witnessing a drowning on a river.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays in \u003ci\u003eEvery Cast\u003c\/i\u003e will resonate not only with fellow anglers, but anyone who appreciates well-crafted writing by a master storyteller. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephen Sautner\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the acclaimed \u003ci\u003eFish On, Fish Off\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Cast in the Woods\u003c\/i\u003e, and edited \u003ci\u003eUpriver and Downstream\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of \"Outdoors\" columns from \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e.
