Norm Norlander. He was a research engineer and avid fly fisher and tyer. That thing he's using is called a Norvise.. he invented it. Pretty neat. RIP Norm
I have learned so many hobbies and learned knowledge from ASMR, from accents to pen quilling to histories, to droid repair 😉 to skin regiment treatment.. It's a great learning tool
Yes, RIP Norm. He demonstrated his vise at hundreds of outdoor shows. I met him a few times at the Great Alaska Sportsman Show. Super nice guy who knew his stuff.
Omg I use to make my own fly hooks with the same materials and techniques when I was 12. My old neighbor was a fisherman and teached me exactly what we can see in the video. It was so soothing. This vid brings me back memories of the good old days haha
I never appreciated how much time, patience and artistry it takes to craft an effective fishing lure. The interesting thing about skills like these is they're practical and useful.
@@GamerOner2H extremely. There’s times when fish won’t touch anything but a fly, especially in freshwater. “Match the hatch” is a common phrase in fishing, and it means match whatever the fish are eating. Many times, they’re eating bugs. This is what flies generally imitate, and imitate so well.
*Found this through a RUclips video **enjoyable.fishing** recommend does exactly what its meant to do. Very durable and no hang-ups at all surprisingly*
This reminds me of my grandpa. He used to make flys like this when I was young. I remember playing on the floor in his warm shop while he did this and I always got so tired in there that I'd fall asleep on the recliner he had in there. I didn't know it but that was my first taste of ASMR. Great memory. :)
This gentleman uploaded video for 9 years, was one of the first to upload content regularly to RUclips, he passed away a few years ago. But his work was on this platform
@@ivangohome so now your argument is on the catch and release aspect after getting beat on the first ha! Grow up. Did you know proper CnR tactics actually better a fish in the long run?
I’ve never been much into fishing but this was fascinating. So sad to see he has passed away, he had such a soft and calm manner, bet he was just like this in person too!
Oh man, when I was younger this was the first video I ever watched that gave me tingles, I've never been into fishing, but just the detail, the way he talks and how gentle he works makes it such a relaxing thing to watch. Thank you!
This is truly amazing. The attention to detail this man had was so awesome. Sad to hear he passed in 2018. He looks like a pretty awesome guy to fish with...
Was taught as a teenager how to tie flies on the banks of Michigans Ausable river and will never, ever forget my yearly trips fishing with my father for trout. Stumbled upon this vid somehow but what a blast from the past And...very calming.
Man. I can barely untie headphones. He's picking strands like it's nothing. Great control and amazing work. This is a first class lesson. You're a legend Norm 👌
I've never fly-fished before... and I would honestly make these flies just because they look meditative and very pretty when they're done. I could listen to this nice man all day.
You should try fly fishing one day, it is peaceful and relaxing even if you don't catch anything. Don't let the rich guys scare you off, it doesn't have to be an expensive hobby
I was so interested in his skills and knowledge of lures I stayed for the whole video. This man could teach anything and I’d listen, what a gem he was!
5/10 - didn't twist the devil out of it. jk i enjoyed every single second :D People being passionate about something rather obscure are sooo fascinating and do the best ASMR
Caught my first Steel Head here in the PNW when I was about 8 years old. Almost dragged me into the water as my heels dug into the pebbles and mud. My dad and my brother in law had to grab me and we all 3 got it reeled in. I was super proud as a kid. RIP Norm, hope they’re biting up there.
As a fly tier, myself, I know that most of us who take very seriously would be taken aback by anyone who calls the art “crafting fish bait.” Fish bait is things like worms, minnows, and dough. Even calling them “lures” would come across as abominable. Lure-making is a whole other thing. Not a big deal for an ASMR video, but now you know. This was a good find. Thank you for sharing 🙂👍
I use a different vise which I love but I can see the benefits of the Novise it sure makes dubbing so easy, Norm was a master in his craft sorry to see him go but not forgotten.
If I were a fish and I knew the craftsmanship this guy exercised to make these exquisite lures - I wouldn’t bite them because that might ruin them....:)
The subtleties within the perception and hunting instincts of a fish that necessitate such specific and skilled craftsmanship here are what really fascinate me. I suppose it’s a massively long lineage of trial and error which allows craftsman like this to be able to conceive of truly effective lures.
Wow, that is incredible. I fish a lot, but i don't fly fish. Just got a whole new level of respect for people that make their own flys. That's some serious detail and attention there.
I learned to tie flies when I was a teenager. Was good at it, even made money selling them. For some reason I got out of it and haven't done it in 20 years now. Still fly fish a lot though. This has me wanting to take it up again.
I feel honored to be able to Liston to this man tyeing. So instrumental for the world of fly tyeing. I like Tim. But nobody will ever take Norms spot. His voice is so relaxing.
Norm is very nice guy, Norvice was my first vice when I first started fly tying in 2013, inspired by him, I bought his whole system, he even ship me a whole set of tube fly needle when only one pc was short shipped. All at his own cost to all the way to Singapore. I could not use the vice to it max like him. But think needs more practise on this vice. I also bought some others like Marce petite jean Master vice, Stonfo transformer n the regal revolution vice. Love the Lw vice but it is no longer in mfgr n ebay price I cant afford. I still love seeing his video of him tying all his flies. Norvice is extremely good for making extended bodies and wired brushes dubbing and hackle.Very sad that he is longer with us.
Would’ve been the perf video if not for the outro!!! I watch unintentionally asmr at night (I live with someone) and I’m self conscious about watching asmr infront of them. So the outro really OUTS me 🙃
I met Norm many years ago. I'm not sure a nicer man existed. I bought his voice system, all of the jaws and accessories as well. Any time you had a question or problem , you could phone or email and Norm solved it. There may have been Customer Service as good as Norm (a big maybe) but there was nobody better, there still isn't. Norm was sadly "One of a kind," Now that he is gone the Norvise Company has become just another video company. Made up to get every penny they can from you, without the sense of "Family, that Norm used to promote.
I legitimately thought it was going to be a tutorial on how to tie a housefly to a string 😂. I haven’t been sleeping well so I kind of skimmed through the title.

Thanks for a brief glimpse into the window of this man’s legacy, his craft is truly beautiful.
I was wondering about that vice. Thank you
I'm sure he's missed terribly. He seems like a very good person. I'll bet he was a wonderful grandpa.
Where did he get the name "Norvise" from?
So chill. Almost like he forgets he’s being recorded and is just enjoying his hobby out loud.

That's called insanity if he's talking to himself like this alone. "Understanding" ASMR involves some sort of mental illness, no doubt.

The definition of the premium version lf Asmr is here too!
@@YeshuaIsTheTruth it’s a vise

I never appreciated how much time, patience and artistry it takes to craft an effective fishing lure. The interesting thing about skills like these is they're practical and useful.
I’m learning how to do this I know how to tie a elk hair caddis Parachute Adams pheasant tail nymph zebra midge and a lot more but I won’t say them
Is this really useful? I'm just using common sense and I'll be using worms or some bug.
@@GamerOner2H I'm sure that can work, but probably not as well as a skillfully crafted lure.
@@GamerOner2H It is useful... It's called an artificial fly and the whole point of fly fishing is to use artificial flies..

At least the fish have nothing more to fear from his fat self.

@@JB1994 ooof, you tripped on your clown shoes. Nice try, dingleberry.
Ceeyou Again Not even a decent vegan, who would recognise that more hobbyist fishermen lowers the demand for unsustainable industrial fish farms 🙄
I'm going fly fishing this weekend, hopefully ill catch one for Norm.
Surprisingly I was more interested in the content and I hate fishing. Respect.
It’s kind of like blacksmiths and warriors. Sometimes, I find theory can be more interesting than practice, as strange as that sounds.
who the hell hates fishing?
You and me both.

Those are the best lures I've ever seen. This man's work is really outstanding.
There's a real solid Bob Ross vibe to this man, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
And he doesn't even need to beat the Devil out of anything 😀
So devoted to his craft. I'm sorry to hear he's no longer with us. God bless him.
I love when he says “mmkay” RIP norm. Thanks for the relaxation.

Holy cow this man was a skilled professional. RIP Sir. I highly enjoy his video.
5/10 - didn't twist the devil out of it.

My theory is that this is exactly why asmr exists in our biology.
Norm passed away in 2018 at the age of 79, it was reported he died peacefully in his sleep. Now that's the way to go. RIP
I actually couldn't focus on the asmr aspect because of how impressive this is. He makes that look so easy.
8:38 “do about five wraps” does exactly five in under a quarter of a second lol.

Brilliant! I always wanted to know how to tie flies. Norm is outstanding in his informative, knowledgeable and relaxed manner.
