Dear JP,
My new rod arrived yesterday and it is indeed beautiful - stunning in fact. The workmanship is top notch, bar none. I have only lawn-cast the rod at this point, but it felt great. I cannot wait to fish it.
I am sorry I was not available to take your call confirming the mailing address, but I was out of the country. Clearly it got to me safe and sound.
I look forward to doing business with you again some time as I now have two JP Ross flyrods and I am impressed with each one.
All the best,
Skip

Sanibel Island Snook
Jordan .. sure . i am glad to offer some info about florida trip
I had read in Maizlers "Fishing Florida Flats " about beach fishing for cruising snook in June and July, so on a recent business trip to Florida I added a weekend so that I could fish 2 sunrises and 2 sunsets for snook in 2 ft of water in low light conditions . I did not know what to expect but was blown away by:
the serenity - i was alone on the beach
the simplicity - sandals, 9ft 8 wt, and camera
the beauty - sunrises and sunsets
numbers of fish - constantly viewed snook cruising in sets of 3 and 4 from 5-9 in the evenings and 5-9 in the mornings
best memory - seeing three 30 inch female snook cruising in the window of a 2 ft wave , casting beyond the next wave and slowly stripping, and seeing the take in the window of that next wave
I fished Sanible Island in Ft Myers Fla and Nokomis Beach in Venice ,Fla
I stayed right on the beach for $50 night - off season rates
I used Flying Fish Outfitters in Nokomis for info , and owners Sean and Julie tied flies - 3 inch long deceivers and referenced hotels for me
One of my best trips and one i hope to repeat each June but due to oil spill I may never get to

On my last trip to California I decided to take one day to relax. I found myself in a small town called Carmel. Carmel is a beautiful town by the Pacific Ocean. There I stayed for an evening, woke up fairly early and walked the street. Earlier that previous day, I noted a fine pens and stationary shop named Bittner's.
The next day I strolled into the shop, and began to ask questions. What is this? What is this for? Thinking sometimes, how can anyone be so into pens and paper...
Finally I met a man. Mr. Bittner. A tall man with a German accent greeted me with my questions. He was very knowledgeable about his product, and he began to take me on a journey to understand what really goes into a nice fountain pen.
You all have done it... you borrow a pen from a friend, they instantly look at you with caution and tell you how that PEN is very important. You then write with the instrument and you can help but notice the feel and the quality. It is suddenly fun to write. You do your signature, then a quick doodle... about that time the friend asks you for the pen back.
Well that day in the shop I was brought back to a place when I used to own a fly shop and I used to remember spending so much time with clients helping them to decide what fly rod they wanted.
I asked Detlef if he had anything with a cross on it. I explained what I did, and a little about my company. He later showed me a beautiful pen called the Knights Templar.
Needless to say, I walked out that day with a pen and also with some stationary. I will enjoy writing to my customers, and I also will enjoy working with Detlef.
In the coming days you will see some emails from my promoting some of his products. I feel that many of you probably keep journals and also like to write. I wanted to endorse the Bittner Shop. It is a fine place to shop. Please call in to speak to them and tell them JP Ross told you about them.
