Fly Fishing for Arctic Char in Greeenland
Fishing in Greenland is simply out of this world! Greenland is the wildest place on earth for Arctic Char fishing. There are thousands of rivers and lakes – full of Arctic Char.
Because of the enormous territory and relatively few inhabitants, many of these fishing areas are hardly fished at all. Some rivers have not see an angler – ever.
The fishing is on a voluntary catch and release basis (a few fish for dinner is allowed), mostly light tackle fishing. The size of the fish varies from 1 – 7 lbs + and there is plenty of it.
Our local guides are excellent and know the area extremely well. The river mouths are often very productive when the char runs up the rivers.
The lakes that are connected to the ocean, by clear rivers, provide the best fishing. The fjords are also extremely productive in the early part of the season.
Char starts to gather in the fjords near the river mouths in the end of June and begin to move into the rivers in the beginning of July. The abundance of Arctic Char – and the magnificent nature – truly makes this a fishing paradise!
We fly 3 hours from Reykjavik, Iceland to Narsarsuaq, Greenland. A perfect opportunity to experience Iceland before or after visiting Greenland. Make a combo tour of these two Northern destinations!
Best time for Arctic char fishing in Greenland is from beginning of July until end of September. There is an option of 3/4/or 7 night’s stay (or even longer), based on the flight schedule for the Narsarsuaq flight from Reykjavik.
During the fishing, anglers have the choice of fishing either the home waters around the camp or cruise the coast line with their guide, exploring the magnificent rivers and lakes of South Greenland. Breakfast and dinner is served at the lodge but while fishing, lunch packages will be brought. We do recommend that anglers take some time off and do some sightseeing in the area. Some can be arranged by the local guides but some have to be booked in advance.
