Greenland
I
f you thought all the pristine, fish-filled rivers had been discovered, think again. Greenland is the new frontier for char fishing and offers a wilderness experience unlike any other in the world today. Why? Consider the following: Greenland is the largest island on earth and also the world’s least-densely populated country, with less than 57,000 total inhabitants. It is one-fifth the size of the US and has twice the coastline and countless untouched rivers with huge summer runs of supercharged sea-run Arctic char. If you have ever wanted to travel back in time to a place unchanged by humans, this is your best shot.
Kangia Kangia is a spectacularly beautiful and pristine system with fish that average five to seven pounds and reach 10 pounds on a regular basis. It is here that Solid Adventures has set up their latest endeavor, Kangia River Camp. Their season runs from mid July through the first week of September. In the early weeks the fish tend to be big, bright, and strong and as the season progresses, more and more fish arrive, sometimes stacking three deep in pools. Catch rates tend to be very high, enabling some guests to fish top-water flies and gurglers for the entire week. The camp is a basic structure that accommodates up to 10 anglers, a small local staff, and guides. If you envision the level of amenities as just one step above camping you will be happy and well prepared. All guests hike an average of 45 minutes to reach the river each morning and typically hike a greater distance to return to camp each evening. The camp has two guides for 10 guests so anglers should be largely self-reliant. Fitness and a fondness for roughing it are absolutely mandatory for all wanting to experience one of today’s most pristine and productive freshwater angling adventures.
