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.

Mongolia Float Fishing Trip

Our 6-day float fishing trip gives access to rarely fished inaccessible waters. Floating an average of 10 km a day allows us plenty of time to fish the best pools as we travel through the magnificent scenery of the Delger River canyon. The boats are equipped with casting seats for two fly fishermen and each is rowed by one of our guides. These trips are for adventurous anglers who enjoy comfortable camping, remote travel and exciting fishing in beautiful locations.

Getting there

The camps are located three to five hours drive from the provincial airport, which itself is only an hour and a half flight from the capital Ulaanbaatar. New for 2007 we have the option to fly direct to camp by chartered Cessna Grand Caravan.

The river

The valley is one of the most beautiful, and undiscovered places 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.

The float trip

We will float the river at a leisurely pace, taking plenty of time to fish the best pools and runs. The drift-boats are customized 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. Taimen fishing is strictly catch and release.

The fishing

We will fish for taimen, lenok and grayling. The spring trips are timed to coincide with the period when taimen are hungry and aggressive after spawning and take readily on the surface, while in the Fall as the temperatures drop taimen become more active as they fatten up for the winter. We’ll catch several feisty taimen from the boats each day and have opportunities for hogs over 120cm on every trip. More information

Food & accomodation

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 great 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. However, you should bring a supply of the liquor of your choice.
