The Bond Between Joe Humphreys and Spring Creek

[@TimCammisa]

It’s an honor to feature legends of fly fishing like Joe Humphreys to my channel. Watch my other interviews with legends here: kzbin.info/aero/PLVr9mJNACWvNo7UmLIAqVy3Lku09rNcWc

Tim, thank you very much. It is indeed and an honor and pleasure to hear Joe tell life stories and share his fishing love, knowledge and expertise. I count myself amongst the very fortunate to have been in his presence to have conversation, take instruction from Joe at Kinzua Fly Fishing School, observe his enormous drive and joy to be on the water, and the reverence he gives to the fish he caught. You have done a great piece of work in putting the film together with Joe, capturing his love for the life he leads and the good he brings forward. Once again, thank you.

A legend 95 years young. Thanks, Tim, for sharing this great video.

[@roblacitinola866]

Thank God you got this interview with Joe, what a true gem he he is, and this is solid gold...

[@chasingfeathersflyfishing]

What an absolute legend! I could sit all day a listen to his stories and watch his excitement grow as he tells them.

[@TomMarch-kq5ug]

No shit.....

[@wvlongshooter3912]

Looking forward to this. I’ve watched his documentary probably 6 times. Excited!!!

[@martinpelligrini8695]

This legend is so relatable that I feel like I know him. He just comes across with a special something about him that is unexplainable. It was an honor to watch this video. Thanks Tim and wonderful job!

[@thedesertoutdoorsmen5166]

Tim thank you for this video! Reminds me of my grandpa telling me stories from the good old days of fly fishing! I could sit there all day and listen to every fishing story Joe has! If it wasn’t for that man fly fishing wouldn’t be what it is today!

[@TimCammisa]

You're welcome, and that interview was special for me, too. I'm excited to begin editing the second video we made, and eventually his tying, too. Thanks for the kind words! Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@Rich-fg9vj]

I had the honor of meeting Joe 2 weeks ago up on Pine Creek. Truely a fly fishing legend and all around nice guy.

[@charlessimons9503]

Thanks for sharing, Tim. I remember having Joe for angling class at PSU. He’s a true legend. If you pay attention, you may see him on the stream. He may even be behind you waiting for you to give up.

[@TimCammisa]

You're welcome, though I'm guessing both of us would gladly give up our rock to let Joe have a turn! Thanks for taking a moment to comment. Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@jayrusek7413]

Nice video with Joe, I had a similar experience last year with our TU club, made you feel right at home, personally signed his books for us, very impressed, story lessons, one after another, without skipping a beat. A true legend, hope you got to feed the fish in his pond. Thanks for sharing.

[@TimCammisa]

For sure, Jay, there's a reason I consider him fly fishing's ambassador! Thanks for sharing your story. Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@karlney8769]

Tom thanks for capturing this time with Joe and sharing. I left SC in 83 and it was good to see an old friend.

[@TimCammisa]

You're welcome, and it was definitely a special day! Thanks for taking a moment to comment. Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@johngallagher5821]

Thank you. I spent much of my early years fishing Spring Creek and Fisherman’s Paradise. A lot of wonderful memories.

[@gldead3741]

What an amazing man . I had the honor to watch him at the fly fishing show a few years back and he was nice enough to take a picture with this amazing fly fisherman . He is a legend of fly fishing and a great great person !

[@TimCammisa]

Agreed, he's a legend in my book, too! Tim www.troutandfeather.com

Bravo Tim - I imagine you will remember this interview for the rest of your life. Thanks for sharing this part with the world. It's truly inspiring to see evidence of a life filled with pure passion. I would gladly give up my rock just to watch him.

[@TimCammisa]

Mike, I was just with Joe last weekend and shared your comment specifically with him. He smiled SO BIG when I read the part about you giving up your rock! You're right, I'll remember this interview forever, it was special. Thanks for taking a moment to comment. Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@OldDominionTroutBum]

REALLY enjoyed this, Tim. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@TimCammisa]

Definitely try to do so, he has a prolific public schedule still. It will be worth it to take the time and have a conversation with Joe. Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@Vectorp47]

Wow! What an incredible interview! Thank you Tim.

[@TimCammisa]

[@ojchart]

Enjoyed the video. A very special video. Wonderful visiting with Joe Humphreys. Appreciate your efforts in videoing Mr Humphreys and bringing it to us all. Thanks so much.

[@TimCammisa]

Thank you so much for the kind words, and I'll always take time out of my schedule to spend with Joe. Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@tomramsey660]

Tim - Thanks so much for making this video. I have several of his books as well as a number of his videos. I once met him on the stream just below the Tylersville Fish Hatchery on Big Fishing Creek. I didn't realize who it was at the time, but later it dawned on me who I had just met. He had on his signature blue ball cap and was just a very nice and friendly man. I recall that he fished through an area I had just fished and proceeded to pull out fish after fish where I had just struggled to get a bite. I love how he was just like a little kid as he described his memories of Spring Creek on your video. He taught so many people how to fly fish over the years. What an impact he has made on our sport.

[@TimCammisa]

What a great story to share, Tom, thanks for taking the time to do so here! Joe is definitely an ambassador that continues to give; just today, he was teaching a fly fishing class. There's no stopping legends like Joe. Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@randymatson5710]

Thanks for sharing Tim. What an awesome experience getting to live a day with a true legend.

[@TimCammisa]

You're welcome, Randy, and it's still tough to believe everything that happened that day. But Joe is exactly that, a legend. Hope you're well, fishing a bit? Tim www.troutandfeather.com

Thanks so much for this Tim. I love fishing Spring Creek, and I am glad to see Joe's story being told.

[@TimCammisa]

You're welcome, Anthony, and in the next release with Joe, he's going to share some fishing tips for Spring Creek. Be on the lookout for it! Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@ruebdogg1]

Joe looks great!! Thanks Tim!

[@jackimyers9364]

I had lunch with Joe several years ago at a flyfishing show in Denver. What a gentleman.

[@ReelAnglerReviews]

To be so passionate at his age for a sport that he started as a child is truly inspiring!

[@TimCammisa]

It's unreal and an inspiration for us all! Tim www.troutandfeather.com

[@laytonmarvin3790]

[@davidsmith5469]

Niece chemicals were largely responsible for polluting spring creek it was a sad time ,however its now the number 1 trout fishing stream in P.A we are so blessed to have a stream with 6000 native trout per mile here in our area much luv Joe ill slways remember our times on stream chatting and learning from such a legend as you we all love u Joe much luv and God bless

[@paulmerritt7540]

Joe's book is a great source of information to get even the seasoned fly angler tuned into the finer points of the trouts ways and techniques to help you catch more trout! Pick up a copy and study it thouroughly, and you will be much further ahead than learning trial and error!.

[@TimCammisa]

Thanks for the comment, Paul, and Joe's book is a great one!

[@andrewwebster13]

He’s a gem!

[@GeorgeSemel]

Well, at 94 years of age, it is essential to get Joe's stories and insight into the historical record. There were parts of this that I just cringed. Taking 54 brookies in a fishing contest- wild fish that we would all trade a body part to have right now in that stream. A different time, to be sure. I am going to be in that part of the world for seven to ten days starting on Memorial Day; a friend of mine will try to get me to go down that rabbit hole known as Euro Nymphing. Then we are going to the Beaverkill for another week to 10 days. Joe looks very good for a 94-year-old. He could no doubt walk me into the ground. I would love to spend a couple of days fishing with him.

[@TimCammisa]

Thanks for sharing, George, and good luck when you're in my area! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
