Young, Paul H. -- Hazel Johnson Fly Tying Tools 9 Weight Lightly oxidized aluminum dual ringThese fly tying tools belonged to Hazel Johnson, who tied flies for the Paul H. Young Rod Co. for ~ 30 years (and also performed the role of babysitter for Paul Jr. and Jack!) Hazel's son also told me that the great Ted Williams would come in the PHY Rod Co. shop and watch Hazel tie flies. These tools come directly from the Johnson family and a letter from Hazel's son will be included with the sale.
