The Bertrand Hotel was a popular destination for summer tourists, who would often stay the whole summer. While staying in Clayton, they would hire guides like the Garnsey family to take them fishing. This picture shows three tourists after a day of fishing with their guide (back left). Clayton, NY. Circa 1970. Photo: Personal archives of Jeff Garnsey
