no limit
A form of poker in which the player may bet all of his chips at any time. See all in. Texas Hold 'Em is often played "no limit" in a tournament setting, but there are many other variations.
"No limit, baby</u>!", -- champion poker player Scotty Nguyen.

Nothing on The Dino's site thus far...
If true, kinda a case of being careful what you wish for. I've heard literally dozens of sporties this year moaning that with "all these fish" that are in, their daily limit should jump to four. However that requires an increase in the "forecast numbers" as predicted by DFO projections, and at a number not a whole lot higher than what it was originally, consideration must be given to commercial access.
So, it may well be that the forecast was increased yesterday (July 2nd being the date for re-assessment). Good for the sporties? Yes and no. Yes, in that they will have a few days of harvest at an increased rate prior to the gillnetters descending. Bad, in that after the gillnets arrive, fishing ALWAYS</u> declines for days following each opening.
Bad for the resource IMHO. Less than 50K of the stated "required escapement" of 277K at the original forecast number have made it up the ditch. The water is warming each and every day, which has begun to back fish up out in the canal, making them literally sitting ducks for both (all three actually) sectors that will be targeting them. Would have been a LOT better for the resource were the escapement allowed to become a tad more realistic before unleashing the sporties at 4, and the gillnetters for mop-up. Not very surprising though. DFO continues to insist upon the employ of this system of allocation, even with the obvious flaws and over-harvests that have resulted in the past. Well past time some thought was given to revamping the allotment system to something just a tad more resource friendly...
You got the message right Despy. FA continuously stands up for FN rights here, but like a child in some schoolyard, cannot help but gloat whenever the occasion arises to do so. And while he might see some humor in that, the take-home message is very much "Neener - Neener". Sad really. [V]

From the DFO July 1 update
OBSERVATIONS:
Through July 1, total Sockeye escapement to Great Central Lake is estimated at 45,353 adults. Sockeye escapement to Sproat Lake is estimated at 43,175 adults. Over the past week, daily counts ranged from 937 to 8,466 through Sproat fishway and from 1002 to 5,909 through Great Central fishway.
Counters through the past week were fully operational.
River flows are moderate for this time of year. Temperatures are now 18C and 16C at Sproat and Great Central fishways, respectively. GCL has dropped due to recent windy conditions.

Glad to hear a voice of reason IronNoggin. Everyone's so damn concerned about putting some extra Socs in the freezer. This run used to be in the millions, how about giving it a chance to build up a bit again. Short sighted, pure outright greed, no common sense. Someone please protect us from our own greed and the DFO's stupidity.
