Backcountry Angling Ontario Glad you liked it, will be checking out lots more of your videos and keep an eye open for the second part of ours coming out next week sometime.

We pass the river all the time but that was our first float. We put in about 15 mins East of Radium on highway 93. Then floated 3 days to Canal Flats. Settlers road loosely follows the river but its just a gravel road and no towns until the very end. Definitely tucked away which was a big part of the draw for us.

Thanks ✌️

Don't think there are many trails along that stretch but it's awesome from the water. Yeah, hopefully Covid is over soon so people can move around again. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the sub! Yes lots more videos to come from Alberta and BC.

I don’t think that would work on the section that we did. We were quite a ways East of where you are talking about. We put in on Highway 93 East of Radium and floated three days to Canal Flats. Good luck on your trip!

@@buschcraftbros7434 Ya id be rowing the trail to castlegar section. I'm just trying to piece it together still. I camped further south over the portion you guys did for the past 2 years. My covid camp. Lol I can row upstream a bit but certain features like compressed water can stop me dead so im not sure i can actually pull it off.

@@andrewbrown6522 Yes I hear you. The further North you go, the more challenging it would become. Definitely some sections you would need to portage.

We floated from the "Kootenay river" stopping point on Highway 93 to Canal flats. It took 3 days. Thanks for the sub!!

@@buschcraftbros7434 Nice, I wonder how shed go this time of year? Any idea for April on the kootney?

@@TheChrisParnell I know that people run it before the spring runoff but Ive never done it. Sounds like its ok before the melt but I suspect you would run into some ice and need to be careful with changing water levels with runoff and snow melt etc.

We started at the "Kootenay river" parking area on highway 93 about 20 mins East of Radium and ended in Canal Flats. It took 3 days. Hope you get to do it, we had a blast!

Glad you liked it! There’s lots of info from a lot more knowledgeable people about the Kootenay available. Check out the Fort Steel station for the flow rate. I’ve read that the best paddling is between 80 and 200 cms. We floated around the start of September in not so great weather and had a blast!

​@@buschcraftbros7434 thanks for the advice! Any chance you know where to rent a whitewater canoes around there or did you have your own? It seems impossible to find one in that area or close to where I leave in Revelstoke...

@@didiehamel-jolette2394 We used our own. Unfortunately, it does seem to be difficult to find places that rent whitewater canoes. There might be an outfitter that rents canoes in Invermere but I don't think I found much around that area when I was looking at doing the trip again. Hopefully you haver better luck finding something!

LOL! Thanks for the sub!!
