Great guy I'm sure. 

A contemporary of his is Harry Murray who's "Fly Fishing for Trout" video is one of the best I've seen for fishing in the type streams we all post about on here.  Think it is still available on Amazon if you're interested.  Admittedly I am a slow learner, but I always learn something new every time I watch that video again.

My $.02.

When fishing, a person ought to carry a flask of whisky in case of snakebite. Furthermore, he ought to also carry along a small snake.

I met joe about 20 or so years ago. He came to foothills flyfishing in Greenville. He was very nice and spent plenty of time with everyone. I had a copy of his book I wanted  him to sign and he tied a generic looking wet fly for me and put on the inside cover.

Fly Fishing for Trout with Harry Murray
Harry Murray shares his accumulated wisdom to catch trout. We start in small mountain stream to learn how to catch elusive Brookies. Next we learn the techniques for catching Browns and Rainbows. Finally we join legendary guide Richard Parks on the Yellowstone River to catch Cutthroat. Includes an introduction to stream entomology, detailed casting techniques, and basic knots.
here's the amazon link https://amzn.to/3oKona0 for $2.00 I might just watch it...
ex - I'm not going to live with you through one more fishing season!
me -There's a season?

I still miss Bill & Chuck and that store. 

I didn't get to meet Joe, much to my chagrin.

I saw where Chuck died a few years back. Had no idea.

I found out about it several months after the fact.  His little place up on Gap Creek Rd was a beautiful slice of peacefulness.  I met him in 1989 and lost track of him after the store closed.

Been to Murrays fly shop in Edinburg once. Nice little store - full of his personal flies/gear preferences. He's a smallmouth fan too.
