There’s a lot of talk about it at the moment, with Mr. Trump eyeing this Danish island with envy… but that’s not why we’re talking about it today at Le Mouching. It’s because of the incredible Arctic char fishing! That’s the real reason fly fishermen are drawn to this almost deserted but fascinating territory! A project for next summer? Hurry, places are limited!
The Kangia River, located on Greenland’s remote West Coast, is one of the world’s premier destinations for Arctic char fly fishing. In this video, we explore this untouched wilderness and target powerful sea-run Arctic char in crystal-clear water surrounded by dramatic Arctic landscapes. Perfectly suited for fly fishing, the Kangia River features a diverse mix of cut banks, fast rapids, deep holding pools, cascading runs, and technical pocket water, flowing all the way to its tidal delta. Every section of the river offers unique opportunities for sight fishing and tactical fly presentation. Above the canyon, there is approximately 7 km of fishable water, a striking 10-meter waterfall blocks further upstream migration, concentrating large numbers of Arctic char in the 10 km stretch between the river mouth and the falls. This natural barrier creates exceptional fish density and consistent action throughout the season. What makes the Kangia River truly special is the size, strength, and vivid red coloration of the Arctic char later in the year. Average sea-run char weigh around 2 kg, with many fish pushing 3–4 kg, and true giants exceeding 6 kg. These fish are incredibly powerful, delivering explosive runs and unforgettable fights that challenge even experienced fly anglers. If you’re passionate about fly fishing, Arctic char, Greenland fishing, or remote wilderness adventures, this video showcases one of the finest cold-water fisheries on the planet.
