67. Trout Net, We have this net for sale from the estate of Dick Charlton. Dick was one of Paul Young and Lyle Dickerson most loyal customer. I met Dick about 1956 when I started working at the Paul Young Co. He owned his own business in Detroit and purchased lots of fly tackel at the Young store, also own alot of Dickerson rods. In my opinion this net was made by Paul Young or Lyle Dickerson. It has characteristices of both nets. I am learning toward it being a Dickerson because of a letter e that is still visible in the area where Dickerson signed his nets. I have a few signed Dickerson and a Paul Young in my collection.
