In Memoriam of Gary Sweet
1949 to 2021
The Otselic Valley Fishing & Heritage Association (OVF&HA) lost one of its founding members last
August. Gary Sweet was an avid fly fisherman and past president of the Chenango County chapter of
Trout Unlimited. He was a Board member of the Otselic Valley Fishing & Heritage Association and
served as its Vice President for several years. He participated in the annual Fishing & Heritage Day,
where he taught and demonstrated fly tying and fly casting. Gary also shared those fly fishing skills
during several Boy Scout jamborees and events. He was a member of the Chenango County Grange and
was NYS’s coordinator of the fish stocking program for Chenango County. The members of the
OVF&HA are grateful for his contributions to the organization, his willingness to do whatever was
necessary and with his own unique sense of humor.
