The Last Fish in Florence

It’s 1955, and Jim Westin is ten years old, and he is having the time of his life fishing in Florence County, Wisconsin. Ten-year-old Jim catches about any kind of sporting fish that is indigenous to Northern Wisconsin while on vacation with his mom and dad and his two brothers. Forty years later Jim takes his wife, kids, grandkids and one of his brothers to Florence County to relive his childhood only to find that the fishing in Florence County isn’t so good in 1995. Jim just can’t catch a fish. This is the story of Jim’s quest to catch a fish and relive the time of his life. In 1995 Jim visits every waterway in Florence County and tries to catch a fish to get back his childhood. Jim fishes with his son Greg, his son-in-law Ted, his son Jimmy, his brother David, a shirttail relative Ron, and his spiritual side depicted as an Ojibwe Indian who Jim refers to as Wall Eye.
