The other day on our trip home from Prince George we stopped in at LaSalle Lake to take a look around, since we hadn’t been there for a couple of years. It is a beautiful lake nestled along the Cariboo Mountains. It is a peaceful place, usually without many people around.
LaSalle Lake was a Forest Service Recreation Site when I worked for the Forest Service, and so I often had an opportunity to go there. Once when I was there I was gobsmacked by the immense school of tadpoles that were swimming around in the water. I had never seen so many, big, black, healthy looking tadpoles before. There were thousands of them.
On last Friday’s stop-in, I was gratified to see that there was again thousands of the wiggly critters swimming around. They were in a huge doughnut-shaped school, just slowly revolving in the shallow water of the lake. I always fear animals are disappearing, so it was good to see they were still around.
Below is a photo of LaSalle Lake for those who aren’t familiar with it.
