Flyfishing Greenland
Flyfishing Greenland
Thousands of arctic char are running the rivers from the early summer. You can see the silvery fish swim upriver at high tides and there is therefore a constant migration of char from the sea. Farther out in the season, you will find stable stocks further up river and lakes, in their characteristic strong red/orange colours. Larger bottom-feeding fish in lakes and rivers develop the characteristic hooked jaw. You can also find the Arctic char in the fjords, where the best fishing spots are close to rivers and places with narrow flows and good currents.
Among many rivers we have found what makes this part of Greenland the dream for any angler. If you are willing to go further away from civilization, Greenland is a truly awesome wilderness fishing experience! Out here you can fly fish all by yourself, landing more than plenty of big chars in the 2 to 8-10 pounds range, in rivers with very high stable stocks. Their fighting ability is legendary.
Located in the area noted for spectacular scenery, wildlife and world class trout fishing for legendary wild arctic char. WildernessTours is a professional service hosting South Greenland´s finest wilderness flyfishing and outdoor experiences. We cater to both the serious sports fisher and the novice, from mid July to mid September.
