Arctic char camp in West Greenland, 8 days (4220)

Join us on a trip to one of Greenland’s best arctic char rivers! On the west coast near Maniitsoq we fish for arctic chars up to 5-6 kg in a fantastic surrounding. We’ll have the river all to ourselves and sleep protected in recently built hunter cabins.

Our fishing river is located approximately one hour by boat south of Maniitsoq and perhaps the best artic char river in Greenland. Here 5 kilo chars are waiting for you and beasts of 6 kg are not uncommon. Even specimens of more than 7 kilos have been caught!

During our stay we’ll have the river all to us. No risk of meeting another group who might compete with us for the best places.

The distance from the fjord to the waterfall is about 5 km. While walking alongside the river’s crystal clear waters it’s easy to spot the arctic chars. An interesting way to catch them is to sneak down to the water’s edge, slowly drop the hand into the water just behind a fish, move it up to it’s neck and take it out, just like that. Well, “just like that” may not be the right expression. Some practice is indeed needed to get it working.

The camp has two newly built hunting cabins. We’ll sleep in one of them and cook and sit together in the other. For sure a lot of time is spent outside, the surroundings are just so beautiful. Having the opportunity to go inside if needed comes in handy, though.

Our guide:
Oskar Andersson worked for us as fishing guide in Greenland in 2011. He’s got 15 years of experience in fishing in Nordic countries, mostly in the clear water rivers of northern Norway.

Oskar is a real wilderness guy who loved to be out in the nature since his childhood days and has since then been on various discovery journeys.

He has a broad knowledge of all types of fly fish, be it a small river trout or a big salmon.

During his year in fly fishing he has helped many people to get going with throwing techniques as well as fly tying.
