Dan the fisherman Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Flew in to Reno last Friday and headed to the mountains. Man it's been a blast mountaineering and skiing. I needed a break from It as my legs r just wrecked and need a rest. I scheduled a fishing trip with a local guide that I fished with 3 years ago and did great again with him. We got a limit of lake trout. We caught 2 fish in the 180 foot make and 3 more in the 320ft mark. Here's a few picks. The two biggest fish r at the bottom of the photo list. Johnsfolly, JestersHK, BilletHead and 4 others 7

Have a wonderful time and stay safe! It's been a good one. It's definitely tough up here though. Very cold and road conditions have been bad almost everyday. Altitude is a big variable also. We're sleeping at 5500 feet and always looking to get higher lol.

So we've just been doing backcountry skiing. I just learned how to ski Tuesday and Wednesday. On the bunny slops of course. Then they wanted to show me how to skin up snow so I learned that in a day and the very next day I skinned up a nasty ridge and skied down, on powder. All 4 seasoned skiers were blown a way that I skied "pow" in the forest on my 4th day. They say I'm the 1 percent of skier. I told them sorry I'm leaving in 6 days back home. Good enough for me I reckon. I just want to get back to fishing! Here's a couple of pics of what I'm skiing after 4 days Johnsfolly, top_dollar and JestersHK 3
