Art Flick moved from Kingston, NY to the Catskills in 1941 to take over management of his parentsâ hotel, the Westkill Tavern. There, near the banks of the Schoharie Creek, he began a lifelong commitment to stream conservation. He helped secure legislation that created New Yorkâs first âno killâ or âcatch and releaseâ water. Flick was instrumental in obtaining the first public fishing waters in New York on the Schoharie Creek. For over 50 years, he lobbied and fought to protect Westkill and Schoharie Creeks as prime trout habitat. Flick was a founder of âCatskill Watersâ, an organization that fought for improved tail water releases from New York Cityâs reservoirs. He served as advisory to five NYS Conservation Commissioners. In 1983, he received Trout Unlimitedâs âConservationist of the Yearâ Award. After several years ofcollecting and categorizing the life cycle of Catskill aquatic insects, Flick created many flies to imitate the various life stages of these insects. His straightforward findings are summarized in his popular book, âStreamside Guide to Naturals and Their Imitationsâ, in which he introduced fly fishermen to the joys of simplified fly selection.
