Not quite sure what you mean by the water being dark.  If it is murky/low visibility you might want to try a jig with some chartruese in it as well.  You could also tip the jig with a piece of prawn with ghost shrimp scent or roe.  I've never fished the Kitimat but a guy told me they slay them on blue/purple jigs/wool ties
