Fishing guide at work on the St. Lawrence River

Jeff Garnsey on his boat, the Muskie, which he uses to take clients fishing on the St. Lawrence River. Garnsey, who started working on the river as a deck hand before he turned 10, is a third-generation fishing guide. He is one of only a few guides left who use traditional boats and fishing techniques. Near Clayton, NY. Circa 2000. Photo: Sophie McKibben
