Greenland?

Flymph · Jun 11, 2023

With Alberta on Fire, NZ fishing reports sounding dismal, and NCW becoming the latest on the Bass Competition circuit, we are trying to find a cooler spot to fish on our retirement, bucket, list. Has anyone fished Greenland or know of anyone who has experienced this awesome area of the world?

Never been. Interesting idea. OMJ was stationed there in the 50s. It was cold when he was there.

Nope, but have fished up on Baffin Island - Lake Harbour, Clyde River, and Pangnurtung areas. Arctic Char are great fish, best eating I've ever had. Pang even has a guide service.

I was one of the first people to fly fish Greenland, back in the last century. It was pretty good then, I have no idea about now.

Resident Char, sea-run Char, Atlantic Salmon? Some rumors of Sea run Browns??

The fly fishing ghillie I had in Iceland this summer says Greenland lakes and rivers are full of arctic char and that they are easy to catch but they aren't good eating like the Icelandic char. Very few salmon or trout. When I was visited a fly shop in Malmo Sweden years ago they had lots of pics of of Greenland char.

I'd take Iceland over Greenland any day. Brown trout, seatrout, salmon and no polar bears!

No doubt Iceland variety over Greenland. But get the impression that Greenland is less populated with tourists.

No tourists on my trip to Iceland this summer. Just a friendly local in an Icelandic sweater who wandered down to the lake to see what we were fishing for.
