Over the years we have had the opportunity to explore the wilder reaches of many of Northern Mongolia’s rivers, and we are among the best equipped outfitters in the country for organizing wilderness fly fishing expeditions. The expeditions that we operate include horse packing trips to fish high mountains stream and to visit the Tsaatan reindeer herders, and ride-in and raft-out expeditions in remote catchments. Expeditions normally require minimum numbers of 3 or 4 anglers and before signing you up for one of these trips we will need to know that you are prepared for an adventure. So if you are looking for a more adventurous trip please contact us to discuss potential expeditions we may be planning.
Taimen Headwaters Expedition
A couple of years ago we began exploring the overlooked and inaccessible headwaters of this river system in a remote corner of Northern Mongolia. Our first expeditions exceeded our expectations: abundant Taimen of all sizes in a relatively small river and its tributary streams, and a stunning wilderness setting. We stumbled on one of the most pristine Taimen fisheries left in Mongolia. As well as holding good populations of mature Taimen, these headwaters provide important Taimen spawning and nursery habitat.
This expedition begins with a boat trip and then trekking two days on horseback or on foot into the headwaters. We spend a day or two fly-fishing on the tributaries before commencing the float trip out to the trail-head. The river here is deep in the wilderness, and the valley is thickly forested, with no vehicle access. All the equipment and rafts will be packed in by horse; this is a wilderness fishing trip, camping in tents, expect rugged conditions and spectacular fishing.
Hosted expeditions $4950 per person. 15-day package in Mongolia, includes domestic flight, all services, permits, and two nights hotels in Ulaanbaatar. Limited to four to six anglers per departure.
