My first visit to Greenland was unforgettable!
Icebergs so big, it is hard to decribe. Fjords as beautiful as in Norway. Cristal clear rivers, with wild sea run arctic char. No fishing pressure AT ALL!
Not to forget the colors of the arctic char: silver, silver with yellow, green with yellow, green with grey, orange with silver, orange with red, completely red…..
Here are some pics to give you an impression of fly fishing in Greenland. BTW: I concentrated on the Southern Region of the Island.
