@@jayk91 Thank you! I hope the video gives you a decent start to planning. People were really nice, and helpful on the Kitimat. We definitely plan to go back and explore more of the river!
Thinking of going there this summer and this helps plus there are a lot of local areas that are great. Just for me a super successful fisherman for salmon. First and more important thing is knowing how they travel.
Some of my dad's relatives or friends from Kerimäki, Finland moved to Canada in the 70´s (?) and they live in Kitimat, Canada. I love Canada and I would like to visit there, because I love that kind of nature (lots of forest and mountains, like in Norway. Here in in Finland we don't have as much mountains, but we have so much forest and lakes). 😀
British Columbia is beautiful! Be sure to visit, Jasper, Lake Louise, and Banff if you get the chance to come over. Those Canadian Rockies remind me of the Alps!
The only king I hooked was at the power line hole on a black ant pattern tied onto a #4 Gamakatsu hook. Usually drifting flies for kings works great, but I didn’t have much luck on the Kitimat.
This river is a fantastic river to fish for Chinooks, Coho, Chum and Pink Salmon as well as Cutthroat’s, Dolly Varden and the incredible Spring Steelhead runs! Always best to hire a good local guide to show you the best regions for your target species and best methods to get hooked up! Always best to contact regional guides to get fishing reports and water conditions as this river can turn in the event of poor weather and spring snow freshets! Cheers to all that visit!
Thanks for this video! We are planning on planning a trip this summer to Kitimat

Beautiful scenery - great drone shots - most enjoyable to watch. Hope you kept some of the fish! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! We are eating some fresh fish along the way ;-). Had a jack Chinook for dinner last night - delicious! Thanks for watching!
Great video. I think we were camping at Radley Park same time you were. Cool drone shots
Thank you! Good times in Kitimat! Hope you enjoyed your time at Radley!
I wish I could fish in Kitimat again in the future!
Beautiful River! Hope you get to visit her soon.

Get here and go fishing
Wish I'd found this when I was working on the smelter a few yrs back did catch some but this would have been handy
Thank you. Definitely a good reference to the popular fishing holes.
What about fly fishing ?

Oh yeah especially for coho

Well said! Beautiful river, but nothing like local guides and information to help with catching ;-)
