PSU KINES Remote Learning Field Trip #1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 мар 2020
- This semi- virtual field trip was created for my KINES 04 Fly Fishing Class. Our classroom and field trip sessions were canceled due to the Covid-19 situation. This film recaps some of the pointers we discussed in class and shows the students on-stream scenarios they would have encountered during our regular scheduled trips.

Totally agree with that parting comment section. I have been rock/ice/mountain climbing for more than 40 years, and now returning to fly fishing which I did as a boy. Other activities can be similar. Getting into the flow puts all your worldly concerns out of mind for at least a while. Have to enjoy the activity so you can get into the flow, but if you can find that something that works for you it is a great thing. For me too, something that gets me outdoors has a special appeal.
Like all the updates and info you're giving us. Thanks George!
Thank you George! We really appreciate what you do.
Solid info for anglers of all levels. Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks for sharing man! Absolutely wonderful. Been fishing for many years but I learned. Always learning. Also a great message at the end.
Love that you are doing this series George. Thanks for providing us a lesson in the midst of the craziness! Keep up the great work. Wish I was at PSU to have taken a course with you. Those students are truly blessed.
Another great video George and you're a gent for teaching us. Your closing statement was heart warming. Stay safe friends.
A really great fly fishing 101 and a beautiful conclusion about the value of fly fishing and any other activity that engrosses you as much as fly fishing does. Thanks!
Hi George. I love the video; beginners and.seasoned anglers can learn from this. Your concluding message is right on point. Keep up the good work! Jim
Thank you for sharing your video - excellent instruction & demos and beautiful message at the end!
That was great. Thank you for sharing these lessons. I've read both your nymphing books cover to cover and they've had a huge impact on my fishing and tying. Penn State students are lucky to have you. All the best and stay safe.
Can’t get enough of your videos George! The way you go about and teach everyone how it’s done is truly superb! He little things like showing us how to read the water and the proper tactics to land fish is amazing! Keep em coming, and tight lines !!
You are evolving into a great instructor....your students are fortunate to have you.
Thank you for your time. I learn something every time I watch your lessons. This time there was a lot.
I'm really happy that I found your RUclips channel, learning a lot from your videos, thanks for sharing!

What an informative and inspiring video. I would like to think I am one of those individuals who has been lucky in life to find a hobby which is fly fishing that I love and like to share with others. I have been communicating for over 12 years with fly fishermen all over the US who love the sport as much as I do. I just turned 74 and have been blessed to be in great health and hope to pass my passion for fly fishing on to my grandchildren in the coming years. Thanks for sharing and keep the great video coming!!!
I’m loving your videos. They are very informative and I can tell you have a great love for the sport as well as the lives of your students. Well done sir!
Excellent instruction. You are a great teacher.
Thanks for the great video. Tight lines. 🙋🏻♂️
Thanks for sharing and allowing us to be a part of your classroom.
Excellent video. I really like your "scientific" approach to fly fishing. And you are so right that activities like fly fishing and fly tying enable your mind to restore a level of "calm" away from the stresses of everyday life.
Thanks for your wonderful video, George. I live in Melbourne, Australia and love fly fishing. Fortunately, I have a host of trout streams within a 90 minute drive, so get out there every other week during the season. Presently we are restricted to home due to the covid19 crisis. So plenty fly tying and no fishing. I’m sharing your video with a friend who is a beginner because I think it is excellent instruction in stream craft.
Thanks, great video with just so much good information!
A big thanks¡ Great fishing and great advice 🙂
I would love to see you fish the small creek that kicked my butt yesterday. I need to remind myself to reset the fish upon approach (bank or water) and give them time to settle every time. Don't rush in and do the countdown. You may only get one cast/drift on some of the water I encountered. You said Mr. Humphreys and that's all I needed to hear. Thanks George!!
Great video!! Thanks for all your advice and info you give!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff George, thank you! Looking forward to the next sessions. I hope you consider doing these videos after things return to normal. I think you may be teaching a few more here than at PSU! Stay well! Jon
George ~ long time fly fisher, learning new approaches, great
thanks George for your tips. Stay safe!
Very nice speaking and inspirational. Thanx
Well said message at the end!
Thank you from South Korea!
Am currently watching this while in my Design Theory and Constraints Lecture... NOW im learning something useful
Very helpful and well done. Often on videos it’s hard to see the water features that are being described by the fisherman, you were able to clearly show your approach. Thanks so much. Your books are very easy to understand and still present detailed technical information. You have a great communication style.
Thanks Scott. much appreciated!
Thanks George!!!
Great advice bud. One thing I tell people is try to move like a heron when walking. You slow the movement down and you catch more fish
Hi George, thank you very much for sharing this. When fishing dry-dropper I find I am having to sacrifice using the dry I would like to use (because it, for example, more closely resembles the size and color of what I am seeing on the surface) in favor of a larger, better floating dry from which to hang the nymph. Often using the fly that I want to use results in an abbreviated drift because the dry sinks from the weight of the nymph below. What dry were you using in this video? It looked to be relatively small but was obviously well suited to this water type and what was emerging. Also, do you have a "go-to" leader formula when fishing dry-dropper? I usually use George Harvey's style leader when fishing dries which is optimized for dealing with micro surface currents, but may not be ideal in terms of accuracy or castability when hanging a second fly off the back of the dry. Thanks again, stay healthy and take care, Ethan
What size dry are you using? I found it surprising how much weight a small dry fly can hold up especially in moving water. Maybe an extra one or two wraps of the hackle on your dry fly will help with buoyancy?
I want to go back to college!
Did you land that nice one that ate the dry? You were fired up! 🤘🏼 love it
actually did land it but the dry fly popped out and ended up snagging fish with nymph. :)
What type of rod, reel, line are you using? :) Cheers
Videos are absolutely fabulous... One question... what hat are you wearing... thank you!
More please
How do I join the class is it an app or what who do I pay each month thx
Hi Walter, this is for a PSU credited fly fishing class for students enrolled this semester. I'm only doing these videos since we've gone remote teaching mode. I'm just downloading a portion of the class for youtube. Thanks for watching
George Daniel bummer got all your books it would have been nice to take the class thx for the reply
When does part two comes? :)
Every week for the next five weeks. Thanks for watching
@@GeorgeDanielFlyFishing Thats many part 2 ;) Just kidding, grate video btw!!
Are you Joe Humphreys' permanent successor at PSU?
I'm a big fly fisherman myself, I'm only 11 though
noticed there is not a lot of False casting from you . I see to many cast like hell for just one placement!!!!!
Thanks. I've was taught early by my mentor not to false cast more than needed. And when I watch these films I still feel I'm casting too much. I hope you're healthy!
