Loads of fish, a grandiose scenery, an extraordinary feeling of solitude<\/em>. A dream that comes true! What a slap in the face! I wish to each fly fishing addict\u00a0to know such a feeling of happiness that our passion gives us on a destination like Greenland.<\/h2>\n

The first days are rather shy on my end, because I like the work well done … I am here\u00a0to cook\u00a0the food and to please the customers and eventualy\u00a0accompanying them on the river and give them a hand on the technical difficulty. I still go every day to test the fishing and enjoy myself without going too far away. Near the river’s mouth, most of the fish are “silver” because they do not have their “love parade” dresses yet. But damn how powerfull they are! The fishes take you easily to the backing. What a pleasure!<\/p>\n

For the food, we make up with\u00a0the local products, but we trun it French Style! Fresh cod that we catch ourselves at sea, we make Estofinado (a kind of Cod brandade as we do in Aveyron, where I’m from, so better)!\u00a0 Reindeer, musk ox just fried with potatoes in the oven with ceps picked on the spot, incredible! In short : we didn’t die of hunger!<\/p>\n

My first “real” day of fishing, I spend it with Aur\u00e9lien who made\u00a0me discover the river on about two good hours of walk from the lodge. The mosquito net on the head is\u00a0compulsory… Damn it’s really annoying\u00a0those bugs! And the n at thefirst stop\u00a0to drink a drink at the river, guess who is the idiot who looses\u00a0his little net?! What a drag! It turns quickly into a nightmare, but I didn’t travel thousands of kilometers to be bothered by shitty bugs !<\/p>\n

For the first time I test the foam fly. The most exciting fishing I’ve done on this destination! You throw a kind of colored flip-flop 3\/4 downstream, you make it drift, and you love it! When there are big beasts attacking the fly, it makes a HUGE wave that follows the fly and accelerates to grab\u00a0Greg’s flies! Fuck yeah!<\/p>\n

The atmosphere at the lodge is quickly relaxed, and after two days everyone talks together. Here, no wifi or network! Well, it feels good! So everyone shares some very friendly moments, all (well!) washed down with Danish beer, wine, whisky and the whole package “to easily make friends in one evening” …<\/p>\n

And like all good drunken evenings, there are always brilliant ideas that are born! I challenged Aur\u00e9lien :<\/p>\n
