MONGOLIA TAIMEN FISHING
Fishing will be a combination of casting from the drift boats, and stopping at good pools to wade.  From the rocky banks and cliffs we can often sight Taimen in the crystal clear water.  Many Taimen are caught on dry-flies. Read more about Mongolian Taimen Fishing in the fishing tips section.

TAIMEN CONSERVATION - CATCH & RELEASE
Unlike salmon, Taimen dont migrate to the ocean, and as a long-lived species and the top predator in the aquatic food chain it is essential that Taimen caught are returned so that healthy Taimen populations are conserved for the future.  We fish different pools and locations through the season to ensure the Taimen are not over-fished.  

MONGOLIA TRAVEL
The fishing trip can be taken in 10 or 11 days from Europe or the US, we can arrange a day or two sightseeing in and around Ulaanbaatar at the end of your trip, or a three or four day extension to another area of Mongolia to make a two week trip.
Fly to Ulaanbaatar via Berlin, Seoul, Beijing, Osaka or Moscow on scheduled international flights.  

FISHING GROUP SIZE
Scheduled departures are limited to eight rods. A minimum of 4 persons is required to run the tour. Non-fishing companions are welcome.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
In addition to fishing, horse riding, hiking and bird-watching are possible; non-fishing companions will find plenty to do. We also organise wilderness treks and expeditions in Mongolia. and can arrange tour extensions to other parts of Mongolia.

Our 6-day float fishing trip gives access to rarely fished inaccessible waters.  Floating an average of 10 to 15 km a day allows us plenty of time to fish the best pools as we travel through magnificent scenery.  Each night we will rendezvous with our support team who will set up our wilderness camp on the banks of the river.

The boats are equipped with casting seats for two fly fishermen and each is rowed by one of our guides. These trips are for adventurous anglers who enjoy comfortable camping, remote travel and exciting fishing in beautiful locations.
