Camp North

The fishing at Camp North is based around aggressive sea-run char found in the Eqalugsuggsuit River where the fish are among the biggest in Greenland. It’s a rustic operation, best suited to anglers who are happy to camp, hike, and wade fish solo while covering large amounts of ground each day.

miles of little fished water

The fishing is on a walk-in basis so anglers need to be reasonably fit, and able to cover around four to eight miles most days. Once introduced to the fishery, most visitors will fish on their own although it is always possible to ask for assistance. The rewards come in the form of miles of productive runs, riffles, pools, banks, sand flats and tail outs. The three main areas on the Eqalususussit comprise the main river section, the upper waterfall section and a tributary that enters the river near the bottom end of the lake. All three provide large numbers of fish, including some huge char, most of which are easily spotted. To make the best of all on offer here, anglers tend to set off early, returning to camp around 7pm for dinner.

remote camp set right on the river

The camp itself comprises 12 single occupancy dome tents built on wooden platforms, a kitchen and dining tent, a shower hut and camp outhouse. The tents are furnished with a stretcher bed, inflatable mattress and space for hanging gear. Anglers provide their own sleeping bag and pillow. Despite its remote location the camp chef provides hearty food with a nightly menu that might offer steak, chicken and pasta. Breakfast is served around 7am and anglers make their own lunch from a selection of meats and cheese.

Remote riverside location  

Camp North is accessed via an approximately two-hour boat trip from Sisimiut which itself can be accessed Copenhagen in Denmark or Nuuk or Kangerlussuaq in Greenland.
