Here we are in Greenland at the Camp North.
It's an opening week of the season and we will be fishing for an arctic char for upcoming
six days.
As usual in the beginning bigger home fish enters the river first and exactly then we
will be targeting on our flies.
What I like about the Greenland and fishing here in July, it is that you have here midnight
sun and it's never getting dark.
So you can fish whenever you want, daytime, night time, you always get the light and that's
perfect.
You see those waves, that's a fresh fish coming up.
It's only really tough and hard because you want the fish all the time and there is really
little time for you to rest because it's long hikes, back and forends, long hours of fishing,
getting back to tent, get to sleep, 3-4 hours, waking up again, going back to the river.
You got to know when to stop fishing but you know when you see those big schools of
char coming, you just can't, you just can't stop, you're just going for them, going for
them, going for them.
Look at the size of a fish and how fat it is, yeah, lovely.
Thanks for the white money.
Because it's always, you know, I will make the last cast and will reveal the lining but
suddenly you get a grab from the fish, oh no, I definitely need to do another one and
you do that.
And then it comes the second, third one and then you don't count anymore, you just keep
on fishing.
The fish are biting doesn't matter, it's a night time, it's a day time, they're biting
actually all the time.
Eat, sleep and fish in Greenland.
Only that is some periods when they reject your flies and don't react to nothing and
you see a lot of fish, you cast for them and fish for them but they completely don't care
about it.
But then it's those hours when they bite as hell and it can be in the middle of the day,
it can be in the middle of the night, whenever.
To fight that fish on a six weight rod, it's really insane.
You give a full pressure, you want to land the fish as fast as possible because you want
to release it quickly and believe me, it's a hell out of the work to get that done.
You have it in your hand and you have the full power on, after a few fish landed, you
feel how your arm is tired even.
That is a nice boy, oh, yeah boy, oh, all the way down, crazy fish, two times in backing
and now it's I think one o'clock in the night and the fish has been insane.
Here you go.
We've been fishing the lower part for four days now and today we decided to hit the
upper part of the river.
To get here, we get a nice boat ride through the lake which took about half an hour and
now ahead is one hour hike and it's very exciting because it's an opening week and nobody has
been fishing yet, these upper sections, so let's go there and see what's happening.
It was a nice hike, it took us exactly one hour and now we are hoping that those pools
are full which are and we'll try to get them.
It's coming, it's coming, come on, there you go, whoo, what a take.
Come on, have it, second guest and here we go, lovely.
You can follow in the fly all the way from another side of the river, trying to grab
twice and just by the feet, bang.
I wasn't ready to say that second guest is empty and was ready to go for the first third
guest and suddenly from the current came a nice charring grab by fly.
Look at those fins.
Yeah, boy, we have him, second guest and this beautiful fish, here you go, boy, yeah.
Oh, it's coming, it's coming, yeah, you go first guest again, whoo, haha, whoo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fish on, lovely, oh, nice.
Look, already a few meters of backing is running, oh, I think I have to go down now, crazy fish.
Six-way trunks, I'm by giving full pressure.
Haha, nice running upstream.
Kimberley, thanks for the fight.
We didn't brought enough food so we needed to do a really terrible thing to kill one char and eat it for dinner.
Well, our trip is going to the end and it's the last day of fishing and today we will
take pretty easy, just a short hike up to those pools and just fish for pleasure.
In general, all week was really good, we're really satisfied because we got a lot of fish actually.
Some of them was really nice, big chrome fish, good fighters, which maybe we're about 10-12 pounds, we landed.
What we like here is that everything is completely wild, you get a camping, you get a hiking,
it's completely outdoors and wildlife and that's what we prefer, actually.
