Arctic Char
resemble salmons, their meat is also pink but is very soft, similar to trout.
They live in fresh water lakes near the coast and go to the sea for feeding, as
the cold Arctic seas are very rich in food but the shallow lakes have very
little food.
We tried
fishing for Arctic Char in the giant Buchanan Lake on Western Axel Heiberg
Island but they failed to bite. A geological hammer proved to be more efficient
as we managed to hammer one down in the shallow braided stream between the lake
and the sea while it was resting unsuspicious of any danger.
