Norm worked at Cabela's South.
In the new year he left Cabela's and is now working for the city (I believe).
Good for him. I hope I can get out fishing with him again this year. Believe me, he can teach you A LOT if he's so inclined.

yes, he seemed to know his stuff. i liked talking to him as i think he had a lot of knowledge and want too imposing.

Yessir

Good to hear, know him from way back. No clue how those guys at Cabelas survive on minimum wage, couldn't imagine.

Popped in to Reid's Fly Shop today and glad I did. Great place and I felt very comfortable with Reid. I picked up a Loop Q series rod and some fly line. i will be back

Yes, Norm was the bald guy

Was there this week. Reid was a good guy, but the other too weren’t super friendly-I think they were tired. Cool shop and they’re off to a decent start. I think they might need a few more products.
Overall experience 8/10!

I was hoping to purchase fly tying materials on line but so far it doesn't seem like they set up for it?

Popped in the other day.

Well laid out and a decent selection of materials and other fly fishing related stuff.

Didn't really pay attention to what they have for rods and reels as I already have far too many. :)

Very good service.

I'll continue to support them as a local business.

Didn't have time to travel out to the west end from the northeast part of the city so I took a quick (5 minute) trip to cabelas for some tying material i needed. Strangely enough their inventory has greatly increased over past years. I guess new competition will do that to you.:thinking-006:

Going to Edmonton mid May and Reid's will be a must stop....:sHa_shakeshout:

REID’S FLY SHOP
Official grand opening Saturday May 5; was just in there yesterday and picked up a Loop Spey rod. Friendly and knowledgeable young men.

Was he the guy who sat next to Cliff.?

Dropped some $$ on flies they have a few unique ones, leader material and some fly tying stuff. Not the lowest prices but I'm happy to support a local fly shop.

Also checked out a couple of spey rods and they have some good deals right now. Not in my plans yet....but....you never know.

Just stopped in - great friendly shop and the guys know there stuff!!:sHa_shakeshout:
All kinds of good fly tying materials , picked up a few things for my walleye flies and going to check out a new sinking4wght system tonight!:)

Norm!
 

YEAH! Norm was the bald guy! What an absolute champ. I can't even begin to stress that enough! Beer time NORM!

Went in today.

Only thing they did not have I wanted was multicolored florescent tippet line for my euro-nymphing setups.

Young guy working there was very nice and knowledgeable.

I'll be back.
