Whitebuck, my apologies for making assumptions about you that were incorrect. I thank you for your time and effort on the lower Alouette trying to preserve its Salmon runs. I know you are very passionate about the streams and rivers in the Fraser Valley that you fish regularly. That is a good thing. Without guys like you in the younger generation looking out for our rivers best interests many of our urban rivers would be doomed. Sorry, but I'm getting a little older and I don't hit the rivers these days. When I was younger I enjoyed steelheading and fishing for Salmon in our local rivers. These days I prefer to do my fishing out of my boat mostly on the chuck, but I do enjoy fishing lakes as well. Alloutte Lake is my favorite lake close to Vancouver. It is a great mixed use lake for water sports and fishing. It gives you the experience of being out in the wilderness while only being a short drive from all the major urban centres. I would love to see Salmon traveling through the lake and spawning in the upper reaches again.
The entire park area is a great place to fish and camp. I enjoy overnighting on the shore of the lake after a day on the water in my boat. It is a very special gem hidden from human development that deserves to see Salmon return to it's headwaters.
Thank you to all who signed the petition, especially you Whitebuck. That was a very nice gesture, even though you have misgivings about the project.
