Every Cast – Stephen Sautner’s New Book Chronicles the Obsession of AnglingFrom trout to bonefish to striped bass, more than 60 stories written by a master storytellerFor more than three decades, Stephen Sautner has quietly pursued a fishing addiction while writing about it for The New York Times,The FlyFish Journal, The Drake, Hatch, Anglers Journal, Patagonia, and other publications. His latest book, Every Cast: Stories from a Deeply Hooked Angler 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.”Sautner 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.”The far-reaching stories in Every Cast 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.The essays in Every Cast will resonate not only with fellow anglers, but anyone who appreciates well-crafted writing by a master storyteller.
