The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF form is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Fly fishing - Fish Better

I am hoping to plan a trip to Greenland or Iceland to fish primarily for seagoing arctic charr next year. Any advice ? I am based in Scotland but i believe the best place to start from might be Denmark.
Maybe someone knows somewhere else in N.Europe that would be worth a visit.Thanks in advance, Keith.

Kieth,

I once fished for sea run char in Greenland (Disko Island). A great experience in some extremely beautiful landscapes for some very nice fish. They were fairly easy to catch fishing in a sea pool with new fish coming in with every tide, and the sizes were good, but not enormous. A 3 lbs. fish seemed to be a good catch.

I think going to Greenland is expensive no matter where you fly from, but should you pass through Denmark, your may want to sample some sea run browns too.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
