Art Flick was one of the most sophisticated dry fly anglers in America, a passion culminating in his Streamside Guide, first published in 1947, a thin but valuable work which would become one of the most popular, best selling fishing books of all time. His legacy is simplicity, informed through carful observation, pointing out that you needed only a very small well selected number of flies. Art was revered by every great fisherman of his day, chief among them was Ray Camp, outdoor columnist for the New York Times. Born in 1904, and passing on in 1985, Art's run of fame spanned forty-five years. Even today there is no one who dry fly fishes for trout who does not hold him in high esteem.
