Observations of the very-high-energy gamma-ray flux of the blazar 3C 66A (z=0.444) carried out at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory with the GT-48 atmospheric Cerenkov detector are reported. The gamma-ray fluxes in 1997 and 1998 were lower than in 1996. The optical luminosity of the object in 1997 1998 also decreased in comparison with its value in 1996. If the emission is isotropic, the very-high-energy gamma-ray power is 1046 erg/s.
