It has been like the "days of old" on the Kitimat River. Chum continue to pour into the Kitimat River. There were a few larger Chinook caught this week. The 3 year old Chinook return continues to be very strong this year which is a good sign for the 4 year old Chinook return next year. There were more Pinks returning to the Kitimat this week.
The Pink run to date does not appear to be as strong as it was last year but there is plenty of time for the run to improve..
The river conditions have been excellent and the weather has been outstanding this week
