Team USA Fly Fishing

I stood with my feet firmly planted as the old man held onto my arm, the swift current lapping at his feet. His arms moved through the air rapidly and his eyes scanned the water intensely, looking for anywhere the current was obstructed. Suddenly, with a slight flick of his wrist, he cast his fly into a pocket created by a rock near the bank. Within seconds, a small, brightly colored trout rose to the surface to engulf the fly, and was quickly brought to hand. Joe turned to me after releasing the fish and said, “Now see son, that's how it’s done.” Joe Humphreys is one of the fly fishing world's largest icons, as well as my personal friend and mentor. I first met Joe five years ago during my first attempt at making Team USA fly fishing. Joe
