The Definition of Beako
« on: January 31, 2009, 06:58:20 PM »
People have been asking what the definition of a Beako is lately.  After talking with Chris over breakfast this morning I figured it would be easiest to post a couple photos of a Beako so here you go, enjoy. ;D

A river is never quite silent; it can never, of its very nature, be quite still; it is never quite the same from one day to the next. It has its own life and its own beauty, and the creatures it nourishes are alive and beautiful also. Perhaps fishing is only an excuse to be near rivers. - Haig-Brown

lol
you're hilarious!! ;D
George, the kids and I were just talking about that black toque of yours just recently.....I think we were looking at river clean up pictures and one of our kids was wondering about it. thought it was pretty cool. :D
next time you get your picture taken with a fish outside, phone first, and then we'll stand on our deck and wave, maybe you'll be able to see all us beaks in the background.  :P

FA,

Yes, I believe he was.  Kept mumbling unintelligibly about pawning off used up players on Vancouver. ;D

Well...since I am one of the "beeks" in your photo lineup could you enlighten me as to what the term means?  I haven't seen the definition spelled out in this thread yet and being a relative newbie I am not familiar with the all the lingo.

Thanks Rodney I appreciate that because I was about to take the guy to task over that remark.  I have heard the term "beek" used and I am still not sure what it means but I do know it is not generally used as a complement.

Among the small circle of friends, we use the term to humour each other when we do something silly. Generally it is simply a local slang for individuals who are unaware of what they are doing. Why some experienced anglers can't remain humble and instead choose to use it as an insult on those who are trying to learn is baffling. Immaturity perhaps, even at an older age. We've all been there, teachers should remember that they were also once students.
