What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Kapisillit river.
In the Kapisillit river (home to Greenland's only native salmon spawning population) fishing is restricted to a single-hook fishing rod only; nets and other gear are not permitted, which inherently excludes spear/harpoon methods.

License for Greenland
Whether you need a license to spearfish here, and how to get one.
Visitors transfer the fee to the Ministry of Fisheries, Hunting, Agriculture and Self-sufficiency's bank account (Gronlandsbanken) with a prescribed reference text; the bank money-transfer receipt is the personal licence. Many tourist offices/operators can also issue licences paid at a local bank or post office. Salmon recreational licence is applied for online with MitID or via local citizen service (Sullissivik).
