Paradise Lake Enhancement Program
Posted: February 21, 2010

BY Othmar Vohringer
For
just a
bit over a year the Nicola
Valley Fish and Game
Club, of
which I am
the current 2nd. Vice President, was involved in one our many
conservation enhancements programs. This particular program was about
improving access to a fishing lake. After months of surveys
and government red tape it was finally time to put the boat
dock on the lake.
The
paradise lake is doted with beautifully crafted log cabins such as this
one.
The
crane
truck arrives with boating dock, handcrafted by club members.
Before
the
dock could be unloaded we had to free the ice on the lake from a dick
layer of snow.
With
fully
extended arm the crane lifted the first piece of the dock up and over
the trees on to the lake.
The
ice
on the lake made it relatively easy to maneuver the over a ton heavy
main dock in the exact position.
While
the
crane lifted the second piece off the truck a few strong men got busy
anchoring the main dock by hammering long wooden poles into the solid
frozen lake bottom.
