Dear Anglers,
Once again, the breathtaking natural beauty completely captivated all participants of the June 2025 trip. It almost goes unnoticed that we also caught some excellent fish: spotted wolffish, blue wolffish, black halibut, and of course, redfish – all of considerable size. The two days in Sermelik Fjord were truly sensational. This time, we were also fortunate enough to spot various whale species in the fjords, including enormous humpback whales, narwhals, and minke whales. These are experiences that will be etched into the memories of all participants.
Whether at the Knud Rasmussen Glacier or in the legendary Sermelik Fjord, an expedition to East Greenland is undoubtedly one of the greatest adventures a sport angler can undertake, offering exciting fishing for species rarely seen elsewhere.
The Sermilik Fjord (the word “Sermilik” comes from the Inuit language and means “place of glaciers”) is fed by several large glaciers and consequently carries enormous icebergs, which is an experience in itself.
Furthermore, this is a region that has been, and remains, almost completely untouched by sport fishing. Apart from a handful of anglers who have been there with us, practically no one else has practiced sport fishing there.
General Information
On this trip, we plan to visit some very special fishing spots, although the weather will primarily determine where and at which locations we fish. We are scheduled to start from Tasiilaq for 2-3 days, where numerous and even trophy-sized spotted wolffish have been regularly landed in recent years. In the large fjord system in the triangle formed by Tasiilaq, Kummiut, and Tinitelaq, we have also identified spots where we have landed several large blue wolffish. Another option is a trip to the Knud Rasmussen Glacier – a hotspot for black halibut.
The next 3-4 days are spent at the ICECAMP on Sermilik Fjord—a place that could hardly be more extraordinary. Even the impressive photos and videos from previous trips only begin to capture its true beauty—this is a place you simply have to experience for yourself!
The Inuit have already caught redfish weighing 10-15 kg in this region, and we, too, have managed to coax some trophy specimens from the depths on our last trips. As mentioned before: Apart from a few brief attempts by us, practically no one has fished here with a rod and reel before—so a true pioneering spirit is required. The fishing spots—especially for the large redfish—are sometimes very deep (up to 500-600 meters). This trip is therefore only for deep-sea fishing enthusiasts. Whether you fish with an electric reel or manually is entirely up to you.
We fish on board the SUMMIT or SILA (with 4-5 anglers) or NANOQ (with 2-3 anglers) for about 8 hours a day for Arctic marine predators – weather permitting, of course.
What else you need to know before embarking on an adventure to East Greenland: Here, the itinerary isn’t primarily determined by the travel plans, but by nature itself. This means that weather conditions, and especially ice conditions, significantly influence the course of such a trip. The Autumn 2024 issue of the fishing magazine “Global Game Angler” describes this in considerable detail in a comprehensive article. Therefore, participants in such a tour should be prepared for the possibility that the trip may be unexpectedly extended and, in extreme cases, that alternative means of transport (e.g., helicopters) may be necessary, potentially incurring additional costs.

Planned program schedule:
Departure from Germany via Keflavik/Iceland to Kulusuk/Greenland. Then boat transfer to our first starting point – usually Tasiilaq, where we will typically spend the next 3 days.
Fishing at the wolffish spots outside Tassilaq. One day trip is planned to the Knud Rasmussen Glacier (for black halibut). Accommodation in a holiday home in Tassilaq (double room). Full board.
Travel to the ICECAMP at Sermilikfjord. We will also go fishing that day. Accommodation in two-person cabins at the ICECAMP. Full board.
Fishing in Sermilik Fjord. The main focus here will be deep-sea fishing (redfish and black halibut). However, there are also a few shallower spots for wolffish. We will be fishing for approximately 8 hours a day on board the SUMMIT/SILA with 4-5 anglers or on board the NANOQ with 2-3 anglers, targeting these Arctic predators – weather permitting, of course.
Drive back to Kulusuk. Evening flight to Keflavik/Iceland. From there either onward flight to Germany, or possibly an overnight stay in an airport hotel (depending on the departure airport).
Nighttime return flight from Keflavik to Germany and journey home
