Do you guys know where a guy can get more tips and tricks on the web other than Norms youtube videos which are the same as the ones included on the cd when you buy the vise. I got one for christmas and can't seem to find much on the web. Never tied on one before but after emailling Norm, he said as long as you go in with the perception that you're not a pro right away you'll be ok. So far I love the vise but I don't crank out the flies just yet.

Gary if your lab had a little gray on the chin I would of swore you stole my dog. Here is one of him with a good friend of mine.

Got me a Nor-vise. With 3 young kids, I'm waiting until they go to bed tonight to give it a spin.

As a former graduate from the conservation enforcement program at LCC and worked in the field for a few seasons, like everyone says, just because you don't see them, they are around. I had the pleasure of working one of my seasons as a STEP officer in Calgary and trust me, these guys want nothing more than to get out in the field and catch people angling illegally. There is just a ton of other things to do also that do not include checking anglers. I was told the exact same thing by the senior officers that the folks here are saying, if a guy has about $500 worth of equipment on him, he probably buys his license. Chances are if you are near to a spot that F&W park their vehicle they may check you if it's a slow day, and if your a bit of a walk they won't bother and they'll go looking for the fellow with the $20 Mohawk rod and reel sitting on his case of beer. One fellow we watch for about 20 mins from the top of Bearspaw dam used his rod and his three daughters was doing pretty good below us until we confronted him. He denied it until we showed him the notes and where we were watching from. He got a fine. GM

Looks like that cut has been caught before. Check out what's left of his lip on the first pic

Best way I found is to use a roll cast. If there is any sign of trouble stop and check your line. That helps avoid huge tangles

That's a sweet fly. I'll have to give her a go on a local lake.
