Fish Mongolia

Mongolia Taimen Float Trips

Our float fishing trips take us down one of the most beautiful, and un-discovered, river valleys in Mongolia; carved through ancient limestone and granite bedrock, the valley is lined by spectacular cliffs and rock pinnacles. In its upper reaches, the river flows through an inaccessible canyon, accessed only by torturous jeep tracks down rocky ravines, on horse-back, or by raft. The river meanders along the canyon floor, from cliff to cliff, creating deep pools, long runs, and a few easy rapids (Grade II). In places the valley opens out into broad grassland, flanked by steep hillsides and larch woodland; these pastures are typically used as autumn grazing, or as hay meadows, by the local nomadic herders.

We will float the river at a leisurely pace, taking plenty of time to fish the best pools and runs. The drift-boats are inflatable rafts, equipped with rowing frame and casting seats for two anglers. Your raft will be rowed by one of the camp’s Mongolian or Western guides, who will show you the good fishing holes, select good flies and lures, and help you to land and photograph your catch.

Each night we will set up our wilderness camp on the banks of the river. The camp is comfortable, with 3-person mountain tents for two to share, a dining tent, camp chairs and tables, toilet tent and simple shower. We pride ourselves on serving good food on all our trips; meals will include a range of tasty Mongolian and European dishes. Beer, soft drinks, and wine with dinner, are included in the trip cost.
