SilverDoctor Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Had a fun time today at the show tying and chatting with people, will be there again tomorrow at the Fly Fish Calgary Booth. Met some great people, there are some great booths this year and quality product, many deals to be had so don’t miss Sunday if you haven’t been yet. World class fly tiers and products. Here’s some quick snaps of a small part of the show. Davie McPhail an extraordinary tier who's videos online are a treat. Was great joy to meet and chat with him. Norm Norlander, designer of the Nor-Vice the Norvise wonderful guy and free with his knowledge. 1 Quote

Myth1228 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Disappointed that I was out of town - It would have been an absolute joy to watch Davie tie. He is, by far, my favorite tier. 1 Quote

Spent quite a few hours with Davie and exchanged a bunch of tips and tricks. What a complete gentleman he is and very free with his knowledge. He was kind enough to give me a few custom flies of his on a sighed card that I will treasure. Quote
hybridfive Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Not a Pic of the Show but some swag I grabbed from Diane Michelin's Booth! Loved it, too bad the original sold and hour before I got there. It was my first time at the expo, had a blast and will be back again next year! Nik 2 Quote

Nik Diane does fantastic work I have a couple of her originals and always stop into the booth to see what's new. Quote
fishinglibin Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Have an original water paint, and several prints. Diane is my favorite, and she and Dennis are the nicest folks around.I have no doubt I will buy more for the new man cave. Quote
bhurt Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 From one artist to another it was awsome to be able to talk with Diane. Overall I really enjoyed the show again this year, for those that feel like the show is a waste of time u should really come out and chat with some of the people that are not locals lots of knoweldge out there and we can always learn and grown. Got alot of diffrent persepectives to fishin and will diffently be using them in the yaers to come. Quote
