The Palometa Club—which is billed as the world's #1 permit lodge—is located on a lush spit of sand between the Caribbean and the storied, permit-rich waters of Ascension Bay, in the small fishing village of Punta Allen.

Is Greenland the angling world's newest frontier? Some think so. In fact, many anglers aren't even aware that it is possible to travel to Greenland to fish. Thanks to remaining out of the spotlight, as well as to Greenland's remote location and lack of development, many of the island's rivers remain unexplored.
