Taimen Conservation
It is essential that Taimen caught are returned so that healthy Taimen populations are conserved for the future. Taimen fishing at our camps is strictly catch and release. We rest pools, and fish different beats through the season to ensure the Taimen are not over-fished. We also contribute to local community development in the areas that we fish to demonstrate to local people that catch and release fly-fishing can be a sustainable alternative to poaching.
We have collaborated with other professional Mongolia fly-fishing outfitters to establish the Association of Mongolia Angling Guides. Our aim is to work to conserve Mongolia’s cultural and environmental heritage through responsible angling tourism, and to provide quality sport fishing experiences through the conservation of Mongolia’s rivers.

Taimen Research
The Taimen Conservation Fund is implementing a major conservation and research project on the Eg-Uur River Watershed aimed at creating a sustainable catch and release taimen fishery and establishing a model for taimen conservation in Mongolia. Research is being undertaken by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of Nevada-Reno, and the University of California-Davis, and the Mongolian Institute of Geoecology.
The 5-year study will assess population status, migrations, and threats to healthy populations of taimen, and the role of taimen as a part of the broader ecosystem. Information produced by the science team will be used to develop a natural resource management plan for the region.
More information on the ecology of taimen, and the latest news on taimen science and conservation can be found on the Taimen science team website .
