South Fork Reservoir, Nevada, Fishing 2008
In the middle of January the temperature around Elko, Nevada, can get pretty cold.  Brent and I stayed the night in Elko and headed south to South Fork Reservoir the next morning.  I thought it was pretty cold when the Dodge ran a little rough on the engine start. 

As you can see, the temperature at the reservoir was -4 degrees... Brrr! 

Brent had a hard time keeping his feet warm.  But, it was -4 degrees.  The coldest part of the trip for me was when I cleaned the fish in the ice hole.  My hands were stinging by the time I finished. 

You'll notice we were facing the sun while fishing.

My first fish was a nice looking trout. 
Then I caught another a little bigger.
Brent, well, he caught the final fish (a monster) at 19 inches overall.  And it was a chubby monster.  We didn't really want to leave, but it is along drive home and three fish is almost more than we can eat in a few days. 

Brent admits he had a great time.  And, I second that motion.
