Arctic char fishing in Greenland with Team Lax-á
Greenland is a charr fishing paradise and 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!
The Arctic Charr is high volume fishing ,you can expect from 10 to 50 a day pr. rod. Fly fishing is excellent there and it can be rather difficault to find the fly that the char won´t take but also you can do spin fishing. All fishing tacklæe should be light, gives you much more fun playing the fish..
The prime time for Greenland Arctic Char fishing is late July through out August. 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 Hotel in the village Qaqartoq..
All transportation is by boats leaving from youre port in the morning and transpoting you in between fishing areas. 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..
Here is a calssic view on the waterfront of the rivermouths, every where you look you can see huge char swimming around. 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. Here above is a classic danish open sandwitches, there is nothing that can top a sandwich like this and a cold local beer. Below the anglers are enjoying there sashimi and whiskey snaps..
Our trips include everything you need, transfers, boads, exsperianced guides, captains, great accommodations and food and local fishing tackle, we recommend you to bring your own fly fishing equipment..
