Expedition for Mongolian taimen
Northern Mongolia – is the land of taimen. For an expedition for this trophy we suggest two main rivers in the northwest (flowing into the Lena and in the northeast of Mongolia (flowing into the Karkhor). Both of these rivers are declared taimen reserves. Fishing is done on a catch-and-release basis. The distance between these rivers is about 800 km, they are absolutely different, but they are united by excellent fishing and high level of service in the camps offered to you. Only in these rivers legal fishing for foreigners is allowed. Moving along the rivers only on paddle boats, the use of motors is strictly forbidden.
Trophies of Mongolian rivers. Of course, the main trophy for which everyone goes – taimen. He is the largest member of the salmon family. Mongolian taimen can live up to fifty years and reach 1.5 meters in length. Mostly in the catches are fish of 0.75-1m., but every season a few dozen specimens over a meter are caught. In large quantities are caught lenok (Siberian trout), grayling.
We conduct tours from January to May. The rivers of the Amur basin (Eastern Mongolia) are located lower and it allows to prolong the fishing season until mid-October. The tour is carried out by rafting on the river with a change of camp. In Western Mongolia there are 11 camps on the river (3 in the upper reaches and 8 on the whole river), in Eastern Mongolia there are 13 camps on the river, in the upper reaches more comfortable camps with accommodation in yurts, down the river there are tent camps. An excellent cook will make sure you are always full, and cold beer and excellent wines will help you fight the heat. Throughout the tour, the menu is varied with large portions, fresh fruits and vegetables, with a complimentary fine wine selection. geared to the tastes of American tourists.

How to get there
From Ulaanbaatar to the camp can be reached in two ways
