Have you received some New Year’s money and you enjoy walking and catching big fish? Then this will interest you and haunt your dreams at night: episode 2 of the Kanga River in Greenland!
The best thing is to wear suitable socks that are soft, warm, and comfortable, which will make you forget the miles of walking through extraordinary landscapes to get to the Kangia fishing spots. Don’t forget shoes that fit you well to cover the miles (because wading shoes are often comfortable for walking the hundreds of meters that separate us from the fishing spots, but it’s a different story when you have to “walk,” and the same goes for waders and all the gear, in fact… It sounds silly, but it’s essential because if you’re in pain, you can’t fish properly, and in Greenland, you’d better be in good shape. Not only will your thighs suffer from the walking, but your arms will also take a beating from the Arctic char, whose sole purpose in life is to dislocate your shoulder! Treat yourself to a gym membership to start the year, or if you live in the countryside and it’s not as flat as an old man’s butt, go for a walk!
Now for the Gateway ad presentation…
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.
