Hooray for RST!
 

Spent the afternoon with Alex and Jill from RST. Are there two nicer people on the planet? They were on their way back from the Yooper Shoot, and stopped in my neck of the woods for an evening of fishing on the Manistee River. Their hosts showed them a nice time on their lake, including the resident loons. Doesn't get much better than that. Can't wait to try out RST's 2 1/2" paper shells on our resident saber-toothed grouse this fall.

As we speak, Alex is fishing with Jeff "Bear" Andrews, one of the world's best fly tyers. Will be going with Bear to Labrador in about a month for (hopefully) 5# brookies.

Alex and Jill are very special people. Just very pleasant to be with.
