Fly fishing Mongolia

Fly fishing for Taimen & Lenok in the pristine valleys of Mongolia

• Fly fishing Taimen, the largest trout species on a dry fly

• Exquisite dry fly fishing for Lenok on light tackle

• More than 70 miles of rivers allows you to fly fish different water every day

• Immerse yourself in a beautiful and pristine landscape

Mongolia presents a rare glimpse of a wild, exotic land unchanged.

For most, just the opportunity to experience a pristine landscape, undeveloped river valleys lined with healthy forests or a pair of Mongolian riders driving their stock through a river meadow on a crisp fall morning is enough. But for the fly fishermen, Mongolia makes a great trip even better; it is home to the world's largest trout that will attack your skated dry flies.

We have teamed up with the pioneers for Taimen fishing in Mongolia who operate the only catch and release fishery and are presently spearheading a Taimen conservation project on the Uur river. This project has been featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal and will create the world's first Taimen preserve.

Within the preserve, the operation has three small Taimen fishing camps to insure a friendly atmosphere and plenty of fishing water. Each camp has access to over 75 miles of water. It is difficult to cover it all throughout the course of a week.

The camps are clean, comfortable, and well run. Each camp is equipped with a shower building, dining lodge, and gers. Each ger, known as yurts in the rest of the world, accommodates two fishermen. They have a stove, sitting area, ample shelving and two single beds, and they are huge with18 feet in diameter.

This trip is really about fly fishing for Taimen & Lenok but the people and majestic countryside take it to a whole new level.

The rivers run clear and provide the angler with easy wading in generally moderate currents. Fly fishing is done almost entirely with dry flies.

Last season guests landed fish up to roughly 60 pounds on mouse patterns. Truly something that we have to see to believe, so come along !

Guides & staff are among the best anywhere. Collectively, they have guided or traveled throughout most of the fishing world. They all have at least 10 years of experience in high quality lodges and camps. More importantly they were all hired for their personal skills and patience.
