The Napiarissat River isn’t for everyone. Not because it is challenging to fish, or because the hiking is tough – the fishing is spectacular, and the hiking couldn’t be easier. But when we were granted concession on this gem of a river in late 2017, we decided to do something different from the programs we offer on Erfalik and Camp North.

On Napiarissat, we offer the perfect setting for a family or a group of friends wanting to fish one of the best rivers in Greenland without having to share the water with anyone else! Availability is limited as several weeks are pre-booked by our partner Denmark Fishing & Outdoor Lodge.

Imagine a day of fly fishing on a river that’s full of possibly the strongest species of anadromous fish swimming anywhere. Imagine having such a river all to yourself. If you fish with someone, they’re friends. If you meet someone on the river, they’re friends. And if you need a little solitude, there is more than enough water to find it.

After another great day, a dozen good fish landed, you hike back into camp. An eagle circles above. You get out of your waders, make your way to the dining tent for an after-fishing drink while the chef is preparing the evening meal – and all the faces of your close friends await you. The stories start flowing, the laughter starts building and it all continues well into the evening. The midnight sun will not tell you when it’s time for bed, so you have to remind yourself not to get too carried away. Because tomorrow you all need to get up and do it all again!

The camp is located close to the river mouth. During an incoming tide, fresh char can be caught as they pass through the tidal sea pool next to camp. Some fish will hold here for a while, but most of them continue their journey upriver. They have several kilometres to spread out before they reach a waterfall.

While the big pool in front of the waterfall always holds lots of fish, this isn’t the end station for the arctic char. Above the fall, many additional kilometres of beautiful, clear water awaits offering additional opportunities for sight-fishing – if you fancy a change from swinging streamers or skating foam flies. If you hike far enough, there are two shorter sections of river between three lakes, the third of those mark the ending of the fishable water on Napiarissat.
