Greenland
Greenland
is a char fishing paradise. Although this awe-inspiring wilderness
is fairly new on our angling list, it is fast becoming a firm favourite
amongst our clients. Our reindeer hunters have been returning full
of praise for what they have experienced there, and so too are the
growing number of anglers. This is 'frontier fishing' at its most
exciting!
We have a vast hunting concession in the south of Greenland, which
also offers endless fishing opportunities on hundreds of rivers
and lakes. Those lakes connected to the ocean by clear rivers provide
the best fishing, but the fjords are also extremely productive in
the early part of the season. Char start to gather in the fjords
near the river mouths in early July and begin to move into the rivers
by mid-month. By August the rivers and lakes are full of fish. August
is also a more comfortable time to fish as the mosquitoes are beginning
to die off.
Greenland char run between 1 lbs. and 5 lbs., but we've caught a
few weighing close to 10 lbs. They are free takers of both streamers
and nymphs. Bright flies with orange or magenta in the dressing
are most effective.
Accommodation is on full-board basis either at the hunting camp
in Isortoq or at the Guesthouse in the village Narsaq. There are
huts in the farthest areas of our territory that can be used for
overnight stays. A camping package is also available, but this is
only advisable for a group of four or more.
 Be advised, our char fishing trips to Greenland are "rugged",
requiring lots of walking and travelling in boats. The service and
facilities are best described as rustic, and certainly not comparable
to what we offer in Iceland. These trips are ONLY for the most adventurous
anglers who'd like to experience great fishing and the best of nature
in this magical and mysterious last frontier.

Do you travel to the 4 corners of the world frequently?
We highly recommend an emergency evacuation membership for this trip. It costs well over $100,000 to be air lifted to a safe US hospital from many parts of the world. These services will not be covered by general travel insurance or medical insurance. We use GLOBAL RESCUE.
