Greenland is a char fishing paradise with breathtaking wilderness.
The prime time for Greenland Arctic Char fishing is late July through out August. Greenland offers endless fishing opportunities on hundreds of rivers and lakes. The clear rivers are connected to the ocean and provide the best fishing. The early part of the season the fjords are also good for char fishing.
In early July char start to gather in the fjords near the rivers. By mid-month the char begins to move up the rivers. In August the lakes and rivers are bursting with fish. August is the best time because the mosquito time is nearly over.Greenland char weigh around 1 lbs. to 5 lbs. but also few weighing closer to 10 lbs. We recommend you to bring your own fly fishing equipment.
Boats are the main transportation leaving in the morning from the port and transporting you between fishing areas.
Everything is included in the trip, transfers, boats, skilled guides, captains, good accommodations and food.
Flights operate mid June to early Sept 2008.
The weather in Greenland
Arctic temperatures
Greenland has an arctic climate with mean temperatures that do not exceed 10° C (50° F) in the warmest summer months. In the southern part of the country and the innermost parts of the long fjords, the temperature can, however, rise to more than 20° C (68° F) in June, July or August.
Variable coastal and inland climate
The sea around Greenland affects the climate on the land. The stretches of coastline close to the open sea, in particular, are cooled by the sea. Therefore during the summer months it is warmest and driest in the middle of the country, which lies closest to the ice sheet. In all parts of the country the weather is locally changeable and can vary from fjord to fjord and from one valley to the next. You can get the best weather information by enquiring at local tourist offices or asking local people.
