Mongolia Fishing Tour for Taimen- 2 (code:004)
Fishing in Mongolia is a wonderful experience. Fishing in Mongolia is one of the last adventures for fisherman who already were fishing all over our planet. Here lives the world's largest salmonid, the taimen, also known to the Mongolians as "River wolf”. Taimen can reach up to 200 pounds and 2 m long. Fishing here is catch and release with barbless hooks as it is one of the world's healthiest and biggest Taimen population. Fly fisherman's real reassure lies in this unbelievable clear, easy wading waters with incredible, nearly untouched wilderness with amazing mountains and vast valleys around the camps. During August and September, the weather is generally sunny, but please keep in mind that the camp elevation is 4000 feet and more, so better prepared for potentially cold nights.
