Fishing The Kitimat River
Kitimat, British Columbia
There are those who will argue vehemently that if their allotted fishing time is diminished, they will feel older than they'd like to feel. While fishing may not be the "fountain of youth" in itself, ask any avid fisherman what effect a day in the river has on his well-being, and the answer will unanimously suggest - Fishing is a Multi-Vitamin.
