GetAway Tours: Grønland | Italienere på fjeldet

Grønland

{ Italienere på fjeldet }

2010-09-09 | Fra vores dansk-italienske agent Omar Gade er der tikket denne hyggelige tilbagemelding ind fra sommerens Grønlandstur:

–With just few months to promote this "new" destination to Italian anglers, the first seven "pioneers" from Italy landed in Sisimiut on a wonderful sunny day. The group is tight-knit and the desire to fish is on top. There are four other Scandinavian participants with us, including the cook and the tour leader.

The following day we arrive at the south camp: just in time to be pleasantly surprised by gettting served a delicious dish of "fusilli alla bolognese" thousands of miles from home (prepared by our Swedish cook). Soon we are ready to wear our waders! We are fishing on the lake near the camp, and the magic moment arrives soon: We catch many fish, both on the fly rod by fishing the surface with foam flies, and with spinning rods. The great fishing continues throughout the week and approximatelly 1000 arctic chars is landed before we are done...truly amazing fishing! The river, with its many pools and space for everyone, is very beautiful. We have many strikes by fishing the surface with foam flies, especially in the evenings. During daylight hours, a simple fluogreen nymph tied on an size 8 hook with tungsten bead head is our deadly weapon, and constantly produces big fish.

I am the only one with some fly-tying material and a simple tying vise, and I soon find myself tying those simple green nymphs for everyone. But nothing is for free: In exchange nobody has the right to refuse taking pictures of me while fishing or posing with nice chars during the following days :-)

Every single one of us is really impressed by the strength and aggressiveness of these fish, usually in the averaging 60 cm or more! The biggest fish of the week was caught by our friend Alessandro in a tight pool, a nice, strong, beautiful 73 cm red char.

After a super-fishing week we are back in Sisimiut for a regenerating warm shower and a delicius musk-ox meat dinner at the hotel's restaurant.

This has been an exciting fishing holiday in wild and beautiful surroundings, not without funny events and a couple of unforeseen baths in the river – and even in the sea for two of us :-). The only negative side of the holiday was our delayed return in Italy due to bad weather.

While waiting for next summer, this winter hundreds of photos will keep alive the memories of this amazing fishing experience!

Omar Gade was cashing in for tying green nymphs for everyone by getting them to take his pictures with nice fish. A win-win for both parties, we guess!
