what is a friday or tuesday hole?

what is a friday or tuesday hole?

Its a long story but long ago when and when I worked I had Fridays off. I was out steelhead fishing and hit a a good number of steelhead in this run, hence the Friday Hole.

 In our circle of anglers a number of runs have names, some peculiar to say the least,  The Shoe, Lew's, Twin Cedars, Double Header, Blue Cup, The Sassy, Ridley's Rocks, The Chum Run, Gun Barrell, Squished Tin, Dog, The Log, Beako Begone, and an old one The Drag Line. When we exchange fishing reports among ourselves we then know where we were fishing. Oh, we have a new one this year, The Thursday, it will not be long until each day of the week will be named.

I prefer the Canuck Run, and Burkie's Follies.

Don't forget the diving board run!  Pretty good steely hole.

red toque run? the curtains?

[yoda]

the red toque has even been spotted canvasing the upper reaches of the river now. thought he was pretty well glued to the lower!

[chris gadsden]

red toque run? the curtains?

I loved the Red Toque, how could I forget it. I named it after a chap wearing a Red Toque who would fish there hour after hour mostly with a spinning outfit. He drove everyday from the Lower Mainland, I helped him land his first steelhead in this run. He brough me an expense bottle of drink of some kind the next day. A number of us had many memorable days there with several fish taken for brood stock

Red Toque thought we were teasing him about this name but over time he loved it and felt honoured to have a run named after him.

Maybe one day the Red Toque run will return to its former glory when the river shift during a flood.
