Ladyes Bridge Pool on the West Kill, tributary of Schoharie Creek. Art Flick, a fisherman and conservationist, and his sons planted willow seedlings provided by the state along the West Kill. The willows' water-seeking roots hold the gravel river bank in place, and provide harbor to the river's trout.
