Tip of the Spear

Tip of the spear, an apt metaphor for what a guide does as a job, and for his awareness of environmental problems.

Camp Walker is one of those guys who settled to become a fly fishing guide in the Florida Keys. One of the most beautiful salt fishing places in the world, and clearly also one fo the hardest to begin a career. Competition there is fierce. So the guy became a local reference out of sheer obsession and hard work.

But that funny biopic, and its excellent interplay between character and voice over, also carries very dark undertones. As Camp says, we’ve got to fish all we can now, because no one knows how much longer it will last. And there’s good reason to fear it won’t be long…
