I could barely wait for my new Nikon lens to arrive at my doorstep. As soon as the UPS truck pulled up our drive way I couldn't help but shriek like a little kid on Christmas morning. The new lens is a 55mm - 200mm zoom lens. I have been using my 18mm - 55mm lens for all pictures before this point and sometimes I found myself out there wishing I could zoom in on a bird, deer or something off in the distance. Finally that moment had arrived and I was off to test it out and make sure it was in prime condition. I decided to head to a creek I had been eying up for some time now, about a ten minute drive from my house. I drove around looking at the stream and finally stopped at a farm to see if I could get permission to fish what looked to be a beautiful stretch of stream. The land owner said to go ahead and fish and seemed to be quite happy that I was kind enough to stop and ask first. It is always worth it once you do it and you get to fish a private stretch of stream. I tossed on a Bomber trailed with a small bead head and the fish were hungry and aggressive. I missed a lot of takes due to the fact I was fishing a new stretch and the sun was making it difficult to read the holes depth. It was full of some nice looking Brownies. I fished for a few hours and it almost seemed like I was in heaven :) I will be back, for sure!!! God I love fly fishing. I hope you like the pics.
