Great arctic char fishing!

Our fresh water guide Dan where away the other day on an expedition to a lake with a great population of arctic char here on Nordkyn peninsula.

First he tried with spin rod and copper spoon bait but the char refused to bite on this but then when he tried his fly rod the arctic char was biting almost before the fly hit the water!

During a couple of hours he caught 19 arctic char where the biggest one was 1,9 kilo. The most impressive thing is that the smallest char was as big as 0,7 kilo!
