He recounts three sightings, including one where he witnessed a fisher attacking a porcupine . </P> <P> In Winter of the Fisher, Cameron Langford relates a fictional encounter between a fisher and an aging recluse living in the forest . The recluse frees the fisher from a trap and nurses it back to health . The fisher tolerates the attention, but being a wild animal, returns to the forest when well enough .
