Taimen Fly Fishing Camps

Located in the Hovsgol region of Northern Mongolia, we have exclusive permission for fishing three beats on one of the best Taimen rivers in Mongolia. Our Taimen fishing camps consist of traditional Mongolian gers (yurts), enabling us to provide a uniquely Mongolian experience in a genuinely eco-friendly camp. Gers are cozy felt-wrapped tents around 5m in diameter, and are heated with a wood-stove. The comfortable guest bedrooms are gers sleeping two or three guests, and equipped with single beds, sheets and blankets.

At the camps we have over 100km of river to explore, by all-terrain vehicle or drift-boat, in a stunning river valley and canyon. The river has good wading with a rocky or gravel bed, lots of interest and structure, and many cliffs and Taimen pools.

The unique nature of this camp allows it to be completely dismantled and re-erected at a different location on the river, allowing us to fish different beats at different stages of the season, and to pack away the camp at the end of the season, ensuring that our environmental impact is minimized.

One ger is equipped as a shower house, with two hot showers supplied with ample hot water from a wood fired boiler at surprisingly good pressure. A large ger serves as the dining room. The camp is supplied with fresh meat, fruit, salad, and vegetables every week. Meals include a range of tasty European and Mongolian dishes, and cold beer and wine is served at dinner, included in the price. Lunches are typically a picnic taken on the river bank.

From the camp there is good hiking, horse riding and bird-watching, and in June the wildflowers are stunning; non-anglers and companions can have an interesting and enjoyable stay.
