The name Renee's hole sounds funny, but at the correct flow, whatever the name, she should command respect. For me, it was a cold winter day in 2007. I was a beginner. My swim began at the entrance to BD.

It was weird, my head was above water but I was getting trashed and loosing energy to the cold. More than one person tried to get me out but she wouldn't let me go. I don't think you can reach that hole with a rope from the side? I'm not sure which hole it is.

I believe I had been retained for some time. While I was being tossed about, Rob paddled into the hole and bear hugged me. Then we both flushed out. That's how I remember it. I am forever in his debt...I could have easily given up paddling after that experience.

I'm sorry others have found that hole. Glad everyone's okay. I'd like to see that hole again someday, from land.

Irene, nice write up thanks. Do you mind if I share it with WKC?

About flows...the nasty Renee's Hole in BD retained me around 1250cfs in 2007. Yes, I had air, but they estimated I was retained for appx 3 minutes. It was brutal.

Also, side comment. The lunch hole rapid hole that you speak of in your blog, retained me until I partially lost subconsciousness before I flushed out, it's still there, where I left it. Again, I was a swimmer, it was a 35 sec retention, no air, at 900cfs Sept 2008.

Courtney was there for both incidents.

Then there's also the lunch hole strainer ledge on river left...do folks know about that one? I always wished I had a marked up pic to post to AW.

Thanks again!

Sadly, I'm not clear on the lunch hole rapid's hole location. My log says Courtney and Jimmy were both there that day. Allan Hall was also. Pretty sure the Nippers can shed light.

Funny thing, everything I did wrong in BD I did right in LH and it still didn't let me go until I was limp.

I was never a good swimmer when it came to holes, so I just learned to stay in my boat, on line!
