At more than 850,000 square miles in size with a total population of less than 57,000 people, Greenland is the world’s largest island. While more than 80% of the country is covered with ice on a year-round basis, the summer months for the coastal areas bring ice-free arctic tundra, crystal-clear conditions on freestone rivers, and incredible numbers of sea-run Arctic Char. This episode of Waypoints – recorded on location in Greenland during a recent ten day trip – focuses on two different locations and operations: Camp North on the Eqalugsugssuit River, and Erfalik Lodge on the Erfalik River. Waypoints host Jim Klug talks with Thomas Sobirk – the founder of Fly Fish Greenland – about fishing for sea-run char, the characteristics of the rivers, seasons in Greenland, flies and equipment, travel logistics, landscapes, the history of the operation, and more. This is one of the most exciting new options in the entire world of adventure and destination angling – ideal for those that love remote locations, rugged landscapes, and rivers that are totally and completely off the grid.
