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

So chill. Almost like he forgets he’s being recorded and is just enjoying his hobby out loud.

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.

When you watch the video to fall asleep, but you can’t because this guy’s love for his hobby is rubbing off on you

He shall be known far and wide as Bob Floss

*Found this through a KZfaq video **enjoyable.fishing** recommend does exactly what its meant to do. Very durable and no hang-ups at all surprisingly*

This gentleman uploaded video for 9 years, was one of the first to upload content regularly to KZfaq, he passed away a few years ago. But his work was on this platform

Came for the ASMR, stayed for the Badger Hackle

“So let’s go and see how it’s put together, oookey?” Ookayyy norm let’s do it!

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. :)

That chair looks really comfortable ngl

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!

Everybody gangsta ‘till they secure it with a half hitch

The Bob Ross of fly hooks.

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!

I found this fascinating. This fella is a master fly guy

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.

Now THIS is art.

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 👌

My daddy makes his own flies. Watching this makes my heart happy.

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.

There's a real solid Bob Ross vibe to this man, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I usually only listen to ASMR. But I can't help watch this guy. Master craftsmen.

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...

RIP Norm. He just passed away.

"Norm Norlander here. I'd like to demonstrate next that BREAD WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE TRIANGULAR."

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 🙂👍

Holy cow this man was a skilled professional. RIP Sir. I highly enjoy his video.

Surprisingly I was more interested in the content and I hate fishing. Respect.

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.

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

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.

Props to the camera guy for getting the close-up shots too.

This guy reminds me of the scene in toy story where that guy fixes woody and polishes his eyes.

8:38 “do about five wraps” does exactly five in under a quarter of a second lol.

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!

Those are the best lures I've ever seen. This man's work is really outstanding.

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....:)

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.

Steelhead Is a rainbow trout from the Ocean that is very very hard to catch

Rest In Peace, Norm. The man loved what he did, that’s for sure.

Norm changed the world. Thank you Sir Norm. U make my sleeps better. Rest in Power Sir. 🙏🏿

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.

He looks like your average small town country doctor that still makes house calls!

3:30 "Now we're ready for The Wings." Hell yeah bröther i love Paul McCartney

Guys who tie flies are a different breed. I just go to Walmart and buy crankbaits and spinnerbaits and soft baits.

Is this the "Bob Ross" of fly tying? So chill...

I wanted to watch, relax and fall asleep. Instead, I'm captivated.

I would love more video compilations of mr. norm! Such a relaxing topic and it’s just overall awesome to watch him work

I've actually met this guy! Really Nice guy with an excellent vise! He actually passed away a few years ago, sad day. RIP Norm

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.

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

This just about as much sense to me as watching the making of a Plumbus

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'm so reminded of my papaw... He loved to fish and brings back memories

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.

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.

We all need more friends like Norm in our lives.

He was a quiet man. A fly fisherman mostly, at that time.

This might be my favorite UASMR video yet, thank you, and thank you Mr. Norlander! 🙏

In b4 “pretty fly for a white guy” jokes

my grandfather was an avid fly fisherman, this makes me miss him so much❤

Thinking about making a loop of him saying "hackle" for 10 hours

Santa’s workshop 364 days of the year

He makes this look so easy

I love the norvice thing is amazing

Growing up, my family had a VHS set of fly-tying videos and we always joked they were a sleep aid.

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.

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.

This mans shirt is impeccably pressed. I feel like it’s probably under appreciated.

This man is the inventor of "the boys fishing trip" when ever we get stuck we can look to this guy and he'll help

About to fall asleep standing up

Favorite ASMR video ever. I love fly fishing, especially in Alaska and asmr. Best of both worlds 🥰

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.

At first I was skeptical, I thought this video would not help me sleep. 3 minutes later I was dead in bed

That chair looks super comfy.

His other hobby was making wigs out of rabbit fur. They're breathtaking.

Ya know what dude. You got ya fly fishing, you match the hatch - boom!

Hes got me hooked. Haha

Almost, The Bob Ross of fly fishing ... splendid stuff !👍

The Bob Ross of fly tying. What a legend.

This man is so darn good with those little rascals and obviously is loving the whole process.

One cool thing about this is that the guy tying flies actually invented the spinning vise system he's using.

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 know 0 about fly fishing, but I could watch and listen to this all day

best video on this channel

Thats tranquility right there. Fat, happy, and enjoying his favorite pass time. Reminds me of my grandpa I lost back in 2011.

Still not sure if I fully understand what a hackle is, but I sure do know how to prep one properly now!

so this is why we cant make multiple fish bait at a time in animal crossing

Im glad that the legs of that yellow bug are even because it has a wonderful response, for sure.

I know absolutely nothing about fishing but that’s skills there.

With a name like Norm Norlander, I’m sold. Calm as dew in a spring wind.

Tingles. Nice 'n firm-like.

Was a great inventor, and teacher in the art of fly tying. He will be missed.

Man, each fly is a work of art in its own right.

He's like the bob Ross of fly fishing
