The sheer number and size of Arctic Char running up the Kangia River is truly remarkable.  Char in the Kangia weigh in at well above 2kg on average, and it is common to land fish in the 3-4kg range and above.  The biggest fish landed so far weighed in at 6.3kg, but several bigger fish have been hooked and lost.  Fish of this size are hard not only to hook but even more so to land.  Anglers aiming to set new records need to go well prepared as Arctic Char are strong fighters and will put on a show that will leave seasoned anglers baffled.

The Kangia River Lodge is situated on a plateau at the delta of the majestic Kangia River and comes with spectacular views overlooking the home-pool and a sheltered bay where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean.  Though the lodge is simple, it’s well equipped with all the basics one needs for a comfortable stay during a week of fishing.

The veranda at the front of the lodge with its view of the river mouth and valley below is the perfect place to enjoy an after-fish drink and share some fishing stories with your friends.  Apart from the main lodge, there is a smaller satellite-camp located 2.7kms upriver that offers anglers a comfortable resting place at one of the fishing hotspots.  This camp is a great starting point for anglers who want to fish the middle and upper sections of the river.  To make the hike to this location as easy as possible, all waders etc can be left at the satellite camp and the angler can make the walk to and from the lodge in regular hiking shoes and trousers.  Whether the angler prefers to stay near the main lodge or venture all the way up to the waterfall is up to them.  The fish are plentiful throughout the river and each person can fish at their own pace all day, every day.

This is one of my favourite places in the world.  It is wild and remote, untouched by human ways.
I was walking across the mountain one morning to get to the river, and in the vastness of the land you begin to see what a tiny place you occupy in the world, and how any trouble you could have would be miniscule in the great scheme of things.  We leave in August 2025, let me know if you can come with us.
