Joe Humphreys, Our Philosophy Expert

In this episode, we sit down with the senior school librarian, Joe Humphreys, and we talk about one of our new charity focuses for the next few years: The Cold Feet Foundation, Nepal. The goal of this charitable endeavour is to support a school that has very little to its name. In the episode, Joe describes the lack of funding, lack of resources, and lack of suitable space for teaching & learning, including classrooms with mould growing up the walls and holes in the floor, a library with no books and a budget of 15p a day per person to feed hundreds of students. Joe has travelled to over 40 countries in his lifetime and often spends time volunteering when he travels. His connection to Nepal is a personal one and he speaks very movingly about why this is a worthwhile charity to support.

Fishing Pennsylvania Show Notes with Ralph Scherder 2:57 - Ralph began fly fishing when he was about 14 years old. From an early age, he knew he wanted to be a writer, so for the past six or seven years, he has been selling articles to fly fishing magazines such as American Fly Fishing. He blogs about fly fishing via his website, darkskiesflyfishing.com. His website also has an online store where he sells books, flies, and other stuff. 4:12 - He grew up in Butler County.

It's the stream that he grew up on. 11:10 - His fishing technique in the Sinnemahoning Creek is constantly changing. He uses whatever works that day. 12:00 - His place is somewhat isolated, therefore there aren't many fly shops there. Although he doesn't have a physical store, he is the main fly seller in the area. 13:43 - We dig into PA Route 6. It's a transcontinental highway that begins on the east coast near Boston and goes west to the California Coast. He names several of the well-known rivers and streams that may be found along Route 6, including Bowman Creek, Lackawaxen, and Lackawanna. 22:00 - The PA Route 6 Alliance preserves, enhances, and promotes the transportation heritage of the said transcontinental highway. 23:38 - We dig into his website, darkskiesflyfishing.com.

It became the first fully functioning oil well in the world. 41:14 - He suggests his blog as a resource for individuals organizing a fishing vacation to Pennsylvania. It has a lot of details about the streams in the different areas. He suggests PA Route 6 and the Visitors Bureau for basic travel information. 45:34 - The spring creeks in Pennsylvania are the major hubs for fly fishing. However, he says that the streams can get pretty crowded year-round. He notes that there are also good fishing opportunities outside those areas. 47:21 - I ask him about the top places I pulled up when I searched for fly fishing in Pennsylvania. Among these waters are the Youghiogheny, Susquehanna, and Little Juniata. 48:40 - There's a high demand for developing campgrounds in Pennsylvania.

Joe Humphreys is a world-renowned fly fisherman. He fell in love with fly fishing at the young age of six, and ever since then he hasn’t been able to put a fly rod down, but there is much more to Joe. He is a father, husband, ice skater, wrestler, coach, but most of all a teacher. This film follows an 86 year old Joe Humphreys through the streams of State College, PA, and all the way to Arkansas as he tries to catch his dream fish: a 20lb brown trout. We see so much more as we learn about Joe’s conservation efforts and see the lives he has touched as he spreads his joy of the sport of fly fishing. Remember as Joe always says, “the secret of life is having something to look forward to.” Cast of Characters: Joe Humphreys……….Legend, Star Meigan Bell………………Director, Editor Lucas Bell……………….. Co-Director, Cinematographer Alexander Gaskowski...Producer Johanna …………………  Joe’s Daughter Dolores……………………..Joe’s Daughter Denny………………………..Friend, Fishing Companion, Honorary Son You can watch it on Amazon Learn more about your ad choices.

It was certainly an honor to host Joe Humphreys on this episode of the Fly Fishing Journeys Podcast. Many consider him among our top fly fishing teachers and ambassadors today. At age 91 he is strong and leads an active lifestyle. He still loves to be on the road passing his knowledge on through his teaching. He also still loves to fish and especially to hunt giant brown trout. I recently purchased an amazing documentary, Live The Stream, the Story Of Joe Humphries, which I highly recommend.

This week I interview one of my fly-fishing heroes, Joe Humphreys.  He’s been an innovative angler all his life (he was “Euro nymphing” before the Europeans) but even more impressive is his love of life and fly fishing, and his energy on the river in his ninth decade.  Joe talks about hot to stay young on the river, how to fish nymphs at night, and about the inspirational new film about his life called Live The Stream: The Story of Joe Humphrey.  It’s now available own and rent on the iTunes Store:  or Go to www.livethestreamfilm.com to buy the film on Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Download and more platforms including: Prime Video, Google Play, Vimeo, and Youtube.  I highly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys the fly-fishing world and its history and traditions—and who wants to learn how to retain the enthusiasm of a 12-year old on the water.   Here are the important links:   Buy the film on LTS site: www.livethestreamfilm.com Buy/Rent on iTunes: https://apple.co/2Iw0fQj Nomadic Studio: www.thenomadic.com   In the Fly Box this week we have many interesting questions and suggestions: What is the best way to manage fly tying both at home and in the office? I broke my Tenkara rod when I got my fly snagged.  What is the safest way to try to retrieve a snagged fly when using this type of rod? Why won’t my clinch knots tighten properly? How can I get over my reluctance to fish emergers? A suggestion from a taxidermist on how to handle raw deer hides for fly tying. Do trout take Perdigons in unnatural colors out of curiosity or do you think they resemble food? What is an easy way to learn fly-fishing entomology? Why do the trout I take in mountain streams carry parr marks even into adulthood? What do I tell people who berate me for torturing fish? Are there circumstances when I should set my indicator shallower than 1 ½ times the water depth? I can’t seem to get away from the crowds no matter how far I drive.  What should I do? If I find lots of creek chubs in a stream, does that mean it won’t also hold trout? If you are not certain how to pair two streamers together, does it make sense to fish just one? Can I use split shot to get my nymphs deeper when Euro nymphing instead of tying my own flies with varied weights? Do you have some tips for casting a Depth Charge line? Do you have some suggestions on how to swing flies for Great Lakes steelhead?

Known by some as Mr. Conservation, Joe Humphreys is 90 yrs young and he is still passionate about fishing, hunting, the sport of wrestling, and life in general. He caught his first trout at 6 years old; the fish was hooked, and so was he. Joe learned from the fish themselves, and he studied the stream his entire life.  He learned from some of the greats before him, and he taught a countless number of students. He has traveled the globe fishing in world championship competitions, yet he still helps beginners, college students, veterans, and children right here in his hometown in Central Pennsylvania.He once stalked a 34 inch, 16 pound brown trout for three years before catching it, and he still holds many records today. Joe is a published author, an award winning teacher, an accomplished wrestler and coach for Penn State, he has been an accomplished fly tier, a husband, a father, and is still an inspiration to many.Joe had his own show on ESPN and was one of the first to bring fly fishing to the big screen, and now because of him it is also being brought to the silver screen. The award winning new documentary entitled “Live the Stream, the story of Joe Humphreys”  is available for pre purchase today and is released worldwide on Nov 5th, 2019 www.livethestreamfilm.comListen to Joe as he talks of youthful learning, passion, life, teaching, choices, love, and loss.

Did you know you can catch halibut on a fly rod in the Bay Area?  How about striped bass, surf perch, sand sharks, tiger sharks, and jack smelt?  Nathan Cooke of Orvis Sacramento gives us a great roundup of how to find these fish and how to catch them on a fly rod.  He also has some great tips or fly fishing in the surf that will be helpful in any coastal area.  In the Fly Box, we talk about tags ends for droppers, trout with full bellies, taking fish photos when you are in the middle of a river, how to pick a fly for a One Fly event, and a philosophy for a backup fly rod on trips—as well as a podcast listener who has been having dreams of conversations with Joe Humphreys!

  This week I don’t have much of a Fly Box, because I just have not been getting many questions from listeners.  Where are you?  I’m lonely here.  But I do have a big interview with the great Joe Humphreys, a savvy, iconoclastic fly fisher that I’ve admired for many years.  He has a unique take on nymph fishing and has never used an indicator, so you may get some new ideas on how to fish nymphs on this one.  By the way, Joe will be at Orvis Pittsburgh this Saturday and Sunday morning, so if you want to see him in action or ask some questions, get over to Orvis Pittsburgh.
