I can see where TWRA is coming from; the carp is a “mistaken introduction” fish, an invasive non-native immigrant that outcompetes native fish.
Ok, looks like we’re looking at a D80 for certain, retail $900 for the body, no word on the bundled lens, if any, yet.
I actually did float an idea similar to that – I would go to Korea and review the production facilities and conditions.
What good timing on this thread – I am currently nearly ready to make a digital purchase. I’m swaying between the Nikon D200 and the Canon 30D – it looks like it’s going to go the way of the Nikon. I’m not a pro, but have been heavily involved in photography for 20 years, working for newspapers, universities, etc. I’ve used Nikon in the past so I’m comfortable with the Nikon menu system. I really think the 5D is amazing but I can’t justify spending that much if it isn’t my profession. The difference between the D200 and the 30D really comes down to a Honda vs. Toyota debate, in my eyes. They both seem to be a great product with a few features that oust one another here and there. I hate to say it, but in the end, I like how the Nikon sits better in my hand than the Canon does – which is somewhat influencing my decision. Scary, but true.
Anyway, thought I’d chime in here.

Hey DMK –
I can’t run it on this slow old computer, but I definitely want to have it in the quiver in the near future.

I tend to take a ‘both’ approach.
I generally trout fish with a system starting with a 9′ 5x tapered leader, to which I tie about 3′ of 6x flourocarbon.
