FM Classic Canyon Adventures are available from mid-June through August. This early-season window offers the best conditions in the high country of Northwestern Mongolia. Since these rivers are wild and undammed, water levels may fluctuate due to storms throughout the year. Fortunately, the fishing can remain good in off-color water, as Taimen are ferocious predators that continue to feed in turbid water conditions. When the water is very clear, sight fishing becomes possible, and is an exciting visual experience akin to Tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys. This is a very technical and fun challenge if you are lucky enough to have the proper conditions. Overall, the entire season can fish productively, and when you should go depends on your goals, and when you can make it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eTaimen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eKnown as the 'river wolf', Taimen are the largest Salmonid species on the planet. An average-sized Taimen in this region is around 30 inches, and much larger fish exceeding 40 inches are caught throughout the season. These oversized relatives of trout share the appetite and behavior of species like Musky and large Brown Trout. Their primary prey includes Lenok, Grayling, and even rodents; so they are very responsive to larger patterns. Mouse patterns, gurglers, terrestrials, and streamers are all utilized to fool these clever, old fish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eLenok\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAlthough Taimen is the primary draw, Mongolia also offers some incredible trout fishing. The Lenok is a Siberian Trout, closely resembling a brown trout but with colorful red markings. The Lenok behaves much like a Cutthroat Trout in the American West - surface-oriented and cooperative. Most Lenok fishing is done with streamers, terrestrials, or mice along the banks, producing explosive takes. Lenok will also feed on smaller dries and nymphs, particularly during a hatch. Fly fishing for Lenok is a fantastic way to break up a day of Taimen fishing, and it offers a glimpse into what the \"good old days\" of trout fishing must have been like in more developed parts of the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eGrayling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eMuch like the Grayling found in North America and Europe, the Grayling of Mongolia are beautiful, surface-oriented salmonids that make for great fun on light rods. It is common to see dozens of Grayling sipping bugs as you walk\/wade sections of the river, making for highly productive dry fly sessions. Healthy Grayling populations are a major reason why the Taimen here get so big, as they are an abundant prey species!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eEquipment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eSuccessful fishing in Mongolia requires a few rods with matching reels.

On an FM Combination Trip, you'll embark on a 2-week river trip by combining multiple river sections. Each day you'll cover miles of untouched water on foot or in inflatable drift boats and\/or rafts with your expert guide. The river camps feature Gers (Yurts) and Nordic Tipis, replete with comfortable cots. The cuisine is a unique blend of traditional Mongolian fare and nourishing Western dishes.

FM Combination Trips are available from mid-June through August. This early-season window offers the best conditions in the high country of Northwestern Mongolia. Since these rivers are wild and undammed, water levels may fluctuate due to storms throughout the year. Fortunately, the fishing can remain good in off-color water, as Taimen are ferocious predators that continue to feed in turbid water conditions. When the water is very clear, sight fishing becomes possible, and is an exciting visual experience akin to Tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys. This is a very technical and fun challenge if you are lucky enough to have the proper conditions. Overall, the entire season can fish productively, and when you should go depends on your goals, and when you can make it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eTaimen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eKnown as the 'river wolf', Taimen are the largest Salmonid species on the planet. An average-sized Taimen in this region is around 30 inches, and much larger fish exceeding 40 inches are caught throughout the season. These oversized relatives of trout share the appetite and behavior of species like Musky and large Brown Trout. Their primary prey includes Lenok, Grayling, and even rodents; so they are very responsive to larger patterns. Mouse patterns, gurglers, terrestrials, and streamers are all utilized to fool these clever, old fish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eLenok\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAlthough Taimen is the primary draw, Mongolia also offers some incredible trout fishing. The Lenok is a Siberian Trout, closely resembling a brown trout but with colorful red markings. The Lenok behaves much like a Cutthroat Trout in the American West - surface-oriented and cooperative. Most Lenok fishing is done with streamers, terrestrials, or mice along the banks, producing explosive takes. Lenok will also feed on smaller dries and nymphs, particularly during a hatch. Fly fishing for Lenok is a fantastic way to break up a day of Taimen fishing, and it offers a glimpse into what the \"good old days\" of trout fishing must have been like in more developed parts of the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eGrayling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eMuch like the Grayling found in North America and Europe, the Grayling of Mongolia are beautiful surface-oriented salmonids that make for great fun on light rods. It is common to see dozens of Grayling sipping bugs as you walk\/wade sections of the river, making for highly productive dry fly sessions. Healthy Grayling populations are a major reason why the Taimen here get so big, as they are an abundant prey species!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eEquipment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eSuccessful fishing in Mongolia requires a few rods with matching reels. We recommend bringing 3-4 rods: a 9' 5wt for Lenok and Grayling, and two 9' 9wts for Taimen - one with a floating line and the other with a sink-tip line. You may also bring a switch or spey rod for the walk\/wade portion of your trip, which helps to cover water more effectively. If you prefer a single-hand rod, you should be confident in your double-haul casting before the trip. Your guides will help you rig appropriately for the day's fishing.

After clearing immigration and customs, an FM driver and an English-speaking guide will meet you and transfer you to your hotel. It's an approximately 60-minute drive from the airport to your hotel in the city center. Once you've arrived at your hotel, you can enjoy dinner at one of the many restaurants in the city.

For the next several days, you will explore a new stretch of river every day with your expert guides, and stay at a tipi camp each evening. Each day you will gradually wade fish your way downstream toward the base camp, covering about 3 miles of new water per day. The FM staff will move the tipi camp each day while you fish with your guide. By midday, a hearty lunch is served streamside.

On an FM Headwaters Expedition, you'll embark on a weeklong walk\/wade and float trip supported by gear boats and camp staff. Each day you'll cover miles of untouched water on foot or in inflatable rafts with your expert guide. The upper river camps feature Nordic Tipi tents with wool carpets and comfortable cots. The lower river camps feature traditional Mongolian Gers with wood-burning stoves and cots. The cuisine is a unique blend of traditional Mongolian fare and nourishing Western dishes.

FM Headwaters Expeditions are available from mid-June through August. This early-season window offers the best conditions in the high country of Northwestern Mongolia. Since these rivers are wild and undammed, water levels may fluctuate due to storms throughout the year. Fortunately, the fishing can remain good in off-color water, as Taimen are ferocious predators that continue to feed in turbid water conditions. When the water is very clear, sight fishing becomes possible, and is an exciting visual experience akin to Tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys. This is a very technical and fun challenge if you are lucky enough to have the proper conditions. Overall, the entire season can fish productively, and when you should go depends on your goals, and when you can make it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eTaimen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eKnown as the 'river wolf', Taimen are the largest Salmonid species on the planet. An average-sized Taimen in this region is around 30 inches, and much larger fish exceeding 40 inches are caught throughout the season. These oversized relatives of Trout share the appetite and behavior of species like Musky and large Brown Trout. Their primary prey includes Lenok, Grayling, and even rodents; so they are very responsive to larger patterns. Mouse patterns, gurglers, terrestrials, and streamers are all utilized to fool these clever, old fish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eLenok\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAlthough Taimen is the primary draw, Mongolia also offers some incredible Trout fishing. The Lenok is a Siberian Trout, closely resembling a Brown Trout but with colorful red markings. The Lenok behaves much like a Cutthroat Trout in the American West - surface-oriented and cooperative. Most Lenok fishing is done with streamers, terrestrials, or mice along the banks, producing explosive takes. Lenok will also feed on smaller dries and nymphs, particularly during a hatch. Fly fishing for Lenok is a fantastic way to break up a day of Taimen fishing, and it offers a glimpse into what the \"good old days\" of Trout fishing must have been like in more developed parts of the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eGrayling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eMuch like the Grayling found in North America and Europe, the Grayling of Mongolia are beautiful surface-oriented salmonids that make for great fun on light rods. It is common to see dozens of Grayling sipping bugs as you walk\/wade sections of the river, making for highly productive dry fly sessions.

We recommend bringing 3-4 rods: a 9' 5wt for Lenok and Grayling, and two 9' 9wts for Taimen - one with a floating line and the other with a sink-tip line. You may bring a switch or spey rod for the walk\/wade portion of your trip, which helps to cover water more effectively. If you prefer a single-hand rod, you should be confident in your double-haul casting before the trip. Your guides will help you rig appropriately for the day's fishing.

The primary target here is the Taimen, the world's largest salmonid, aptly nicknamed the 'river wolf' due to its predatory nature. In addition to the mighty Taimen, the river here also holds Trout, Grayling, and Pike species unique to Mongolia. The species diversity and the potential for trophy Taimen make this trip something truly special for anglers of any ability level.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eMongolia River Outfitters (MRO) is the premier provider of multi-day fly fishing float trips in Northern Mongolia. On an MRO Buryat Headwaters Expedition, you'll embark on a weeklong float trip supported by gear boats and camp staff. Each day you'll cover miles of untouched water in Western-style drift boats with your expert guide. The river camps feature tipi-style tents, replete with wool carpets and comfortable cots. The cuisine is a unique blend of traditional Mongolian fare and nourishing Western dishes. The guides and staff at MRO are consummate professionals, equally adept at rowing, finding fish, cooking, entertaining, and camp duties. You'd be hard-pressed to find a team of more professional and friendly people anywhere in the world. This is the ultimate Taimen fishing experience, completely unplugged from the outside world for a week in the Mongolian wilderness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e Venturesome anglers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e Fishing-oriented couples\/groups\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eWhen To Go\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eThe legal fishing season in Mongolia runs from June 15 through the end of October. MRO Buryat Headwaters Expeditions are available from late August to mid-October. This late-season window brings cooler weather and more aggressive fish behavior. This is typically regarded as the best time of the year to target trophy class (40\" or larger) Taimen. As these are wild, undammed rivers, flows may fluctuate due to storms throughout the year. Fortunately, the fishing can remain good in off-color water, as Taimen are ferocious predators that continue to feed in turbid water conditions. When the water is very clear, sight fishing becomes possible, and is an exciting visual experience akin to Tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys. This is a very technical and fun challenge if you are lucky enough to have the proper conditions. Overall, the entire season can fish productively, and when you should go depends on your goals, and when you can make it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eTaimen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eKnown as the 'river wolf', Taimen are the largest Salmonid species on the planet. An average-sized Taimen in this region is around 30 inches, and much larger fish exceeding 40 inches are caught throughout the season - especially in the fall. These oversized relatives of Trout share the appetite and behavior of species like Musky and large Brown Trout. Their primary prey includes Lenok, Amur Trout, Grayling, and even rodents; so they are very responsive to larger patterns. Mouse patterns, gurglers, terrestrials, and streamers are all utilized to fool these clever, old fish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eLenok\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAlthough Taimen is the primary draw, Mongolia also offers some incredible Trout fishing. The Lenok is a Siberian Trout, closely resembling a Brown Trout but with colorful red markings. The Lenok behaves much like a Cutthroat Trout in the American West - surface-oriented and cooperative. Most Lenok fishing is done with terrestrials or mice along the banks, producing explosive takes. Lenok will also feed on smaller dries and nymphs, particularly during a hatch. Fly fishing for Lenok is a fantastic way to break up a day of Taimen fishing, and it offers a glimpse into what the \"good ole days\" of Trout fishing must have been like in more developed parts of the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAmur Trout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAnother species found only in Mongolia, the Amur Trout is an extremely rare Trout species that can grow large in the Buryat Headwaters section.

This cousin of the Northern Pike is found exclusively in Mongolia and resides in the same water types as you would expect to find Northerns in the midwestern US. Dredging streamers through slow, deep pools and sloughs can result in savage takes by big, beautiful Amur Pike. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eGrayling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eMuch like the Grayling found in North America and Europe, the Grayling of Mongolia are beautiful, surface-oriented salmonids that make for great fun on light rods. It is common to see dozens of Grayling sipping bugs as you walk\/wade sections of the river, making for highly productive dry fly sessions. Healthy Grayling populations are a major reason why the Taimen here get so big, as they are an abundant prey species!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eEquipment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eSuccessful fishing in Mongolia only requires a couple of rods with matching reels.

After clearing immigration and customs, an MRO driver and an English-speaking guide will meet you and transfer you to your hotel. It's an approximately 60-minute drive from the airport to your hotel in the city center. Once you've arrived at your hotel, you can enjoy dinner at one of the many restaurants in the city.

There will be plenty of drinks and snacks, picnic lunches, and lots to see along the way. Not far from UB, you will pass the famous Chinghis Khan complex which features an impressive 130' tall statue of the Great Khan on horseback. The last leg of the journey will be a real 4X4 adventure, as you traverse mountainous terrain to access the uppermost camp.

The primary target here is the Taimen, the world's largest salmonid, aptly nicknamed the 'river wolf' for its predatory nature. In addition to the mighty Taimen, the rivers here also hold Trout, Grayling, and Pike species unique to Mongolia. The species diversity and the potential for trophy Taimen make this trip something truly special for anglers of any ability level.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eMongolia River Outfitters (MRO) is the premier provider of multi-day fly fishing float trips in Northern Mongolia. On an MRO Combination Trip, you'll embark on a 2-week river trip by combining multiple river sections. Each day you'll cover miles of untouched water in Western-style drift boats and\/or fishing rafts with your expert guide. The river camps feature Gers (Yurts) or Nordic Tipis, replete with wood stoves and comfortable cots. The cuisine is a unique blend of traditional Mongolian fare and nourishing Western dishes. The guides and staff at MRO are consummate professionals, equally adept at rowing, finding fish, cooking, entertaining, and camp duties. You'd be hard-pressed to find a team of more professional and friendly people anywhere in the world. This is the ultimate Taimen fishing experience, completely unplugged from the outside world for several weeks in the Mongolian wilderness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e Venturesome Anglers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e Fishing-oriented couples\/groups\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eWhen To Go\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eThe legal fishing season in Mongolia runs from June 15 through the end of October. MRO Combination Trips are available from late August to mid-October. This late-season window brings cooler weather and more aggressive fish behavior. This is typically regarded as the best time of the year to target trophy class (40\" or larger) Taimen. As these are wild, undammed rivers, flows may fluctuate due to storms throughout the year. Fortunately, the fishing can remain good in off-color water, as Taimen are ferocious predators that continue to feed in turbid water conditions. When the water is very clear, sight fishing becomes possible, and is an exciting visual experience akin to Tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys. This is a very technical and fun challenge if you are lucky enough to have the proper conditions. Overall, the entire season can fish productively, and when you should go depends on your goals, and when you can make it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eTaimen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eKnown as the 'river wolf', Taimen are the largest Salmonid species on the planet. An average-sized Taimen in this region is around 30 inches, and much larger fish exceeding 40 inches are caught throughout the season - especially in the fall. These oversized relatives of trout share the appetite and behavior of species like Musky and large Brown Trout. Their primary prey includes Lenok, Amur Trout, Grayling, and even rodents; so they are very responsive to larger patterns. Mouse patterns, gurglers, terrestrials, and streamers are all utilized to fool these clever, old fish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eLenok\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAlthough Taimen is the primary draw, Mongolia also offers some incredible trout fishing. The Lenok is a Siberian Trout, closely resembling a brown trout but with colorful red markings. The Lenok behaves much like a Cutthroat Trout in the American West - surface-oriented and cooperative. Most Lenok fishing is done with terrestrials or mice along the banks, producing explosive takes. Lenok will also feed on smaller dries and nymphs, particularly during a hatch. Fly fishing for Lenok is a fantastic way to break up a day of Taimen fishing, and it offers a glimpse into what the \"good ole days\" of trout fishing must have been like in more developed parts of the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAmur Trout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAnother species found only in Mongolia, the Amur Trout is an extremely rare trout species that can grow large in the Buryat Headwaters section.

This cousin of the Northern Pike is found exclusively in Mongolia and resides in the same water types as you would expect to find Pike in the midwestern US. Dredging streamers through slow, deep pools and sloughs can result in savage takes by big, beautiful Amur Pike. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eGrayling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eMuch like the Grayling found in North America and Europe, the Grayling of Mongolia are beautiful, surface-oriented salmonids that make for great fun on light rods. It is common to see dozens of Grayling sipping bugs as you walk\/wade sections of the river, making for highly productive dry fly sessions. Healthy Grayling populations are a major reason why the Taimen here get so big, as they are an abundant prey species!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eEquipment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eSuccessful fishing in Mongolia only requires a couple of rods with matching reels.

The primary target here is the Taimen, the world's largest salmonid, aptly nicknamed the 'river wolf' for its predatory nature. In addition to the mighty Taimen, the river here also holds Trout, Grayling, and Pike species unique to Mongolia. The species diversity and the potential for trophy Taimen make this trip something truly special for anglers of any ability level.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eMongolia River Outfitters (MRO) is the premier provider of multi-day fly fishing float trips in Northern Mongolia. On an MRO Lower River Expedition, you'll embark on a weeklong float trip supported by gear boats and camp staff. Each day you'll cover miles of untouched water in Western-style drift boats with your expert guide. The river camps feature Gers (traditional Mongolian yurts) and Tipi-style tents, replete with wood stoves and comfortable cots. The cuisine is a unique blend of traditional Mongolian fare and nourishing Western dishes. The guides and staff at MRO are consummate professionals, equally adept at rowing, finding fish, cooking, entertaining, and camp duties. You'd be hard-pressed to find a team of more professional and friendly people anywhere in the world. This is the ultimate Taimen fishing experience, completely unplugged from the outside world for a week in the Mongolian wilderness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e Venturesome Anglers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e Fishing-oriented couples\/groups\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eWhen To Go\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eThe legal fishing season in Mongolia runs from June 15 through the end of October. MRO Lower River Adventures are available from late August to mid-October. This late-season window brings cooler weather and more aggressive fish behavior. This is typically regarded as the best time of the year to target trophy class (40\" or larger) Taimen. As these are wild, undammed rivers, flows may fluctuate due to storms throughout the year. Fortunately, the fishing can remain good in off-color water, as Taimen are ferocious predators that continue to feed in turbid water conditions. When the water is very clear, sight fishing becomes possible, and is an exciting visual experience akin to Tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys. This is a very technical and fun challenge if you are lucky enough to have the proper conditions. Overall, the entire season can fish productively, and when you should go depends on your goals, and when you can make it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eTaimen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eKnown as the 'river wolf', Taimen are the largest Salmonid species on the planet. An average-sized Taimen in this region is around 30 inches, and much larger fish exceeding 40 inches are caught throughout the season - especially in the fall. These oversized relatives of Trout share the appetite and behavior of species like Musky and large Brown Trout. Their primary prey includes Lenok, Amur Trout, Grayling, and even rodents; so they are very responsive to larger patterns. Mouse patterns, gurglers, terrestrials, and streamers are all utilized to fool these clever, old fish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eLenok\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAlthough Taimen is the primary draw, Mongolia also offers some incredible Trout fishing. The Lenok is a Siberian Trout, closely resembling a Brown Trout but with colorful red markings. The Lenok behaves much like a Cutthroat Trout in the American West - surface-oriented and cooperative. Most Lenok fishing is done with terrestrials or mice along the banks, producing explosive takes. Lenok will also feed on smaller dries and nymphs, particularly during a hatch. Fly fishing for Lenok is a fantastic way to break up a day of Taimen fishing, and it offers a glimpse into what the \"good ole days\" of Trout fishing must have been like in more developed parts of the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAmur Trout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAnother species found only in Mongolia, the Amur Trout is an extremely rare Trout species that can grow large in the Buryat Headwaters section.

This cousin of the Northern Pike is found exclusively in Mongolia and resides in the same water types as you would expect to find Northerns in the midwestern US. Dredging streamers through slow, deep pools and sloughs can result in savage takes by big, beautiful Amur Pike. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eGrayling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eMuch like the Grayling found in North America and Europe, the Grayling of Mongolia are beautiful, surface-oriented salmonids that make for great fun on light rods. It is common to see dozens of Grayling sipping bugs as you walk\/wade sections of the river, making for highly productive dry fly sessions. Healthy Grayling populations are a major reason why the Taimen here get so big, as they are an abundant prey species!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eEquipment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eSuccessful fishing in Mongolia only requires a couple of rods with matching reels.

With their wooden lattice frames, wood-burning stoves, and insulating felt walls, sleeping in a cozy Mongolian ger is a restful and warm experience. It's much like having a spacious streamside hotel room. The tents (tipis) are also very comfortable. The tipis are over ten feet tall and nearly eighteen feet wide. Both the gers and the tipis accommodate two guests and are outfitted with a simple table and chairs, wool carpets, two cots with pads, and extra blankets.

The primary target here is the Taimen, the world's largest salmonid, aptly nicknamed the 'river wolf' for its predatory nature. In addition to the mighty Taimen, the river here also holds Trout, Grayling, and Pike species unique to Mongolia. The species diversity and the potential for trophy Taimen make this trip something truly special for anglers of any ability level.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eMongolia River Outfitters (MRO) is the premier provider of multi-day fly fishing float trips in Northern Mongolia. On an MRO Upper River Adventure, you'll embark on a weeklong float trip supported by gear boats and camp staff. Each day you'll cover miles of untouched water in Western-style drift boats with your expert guide. The river camps feature Gers (traditional Mongolian yurts), replete with wood stoves and comfortable cots. The cuisine is a unique blend of traditional Mongolian fare and nourishing Western dishes. The guides and staff at MRO are consummate professionals, equally adept at rowing, finding fish, cooking, entertaining, and camp duties. You'd be hard-pressed to find a team of more professional and friendly people anywhere in the world. This is the ultimate Taimen fishing experience, completely unplugged from the outside world for a week in the Mongolian wilderness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e Venturesome Anglers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e Fishing-oriented couples\/groups\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eWhen To Go\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eThe legal fishing season in Mongolia runs from June 15 through the end of October. MRO Upper River Adventures are available from late August to mid-October. This late-season window brings cooler weather and more aggressive fish behavior. This is typically regarded as the best time of the year to target trophy class (40\" or larger) Taimen. As these are wild, undammed rivers, flows may fluctuate due to storms throughout the year. Fortunately, the fishing can remain good in off-color water, as Taimen are ferocious predators that continue to feed in turbid water conditions. When the water is very clear, sight fishing becomes possible, and is an exciting visual experience akin to Tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys. This is a very technical and fun challenge if you are lucky enough to have the proper conditions. Overall, the entire season can fish productively, and when you should go depends on your goals, and when you can make it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eTaimen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eKnown as the 'river wolf', Taimen are the largest Salmonid species on the planet. An average-sized Taimen in this region is around 30 inches, and much larger fish exceeding 40 inches are caught throughout the season - especially in the fall. These oversized relatives of trout share the appetite and behavior of species like Musky and large Brown Trout. Their primary prey includes Lenok, Amur Trout, Grayling, and even rodents; so they are very responsive to larger patterns. Mouse patterns, gurglers, terrestrials, and streamers are all utilized to fool these clever, old fish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eLenok\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAlthough Taimen is the primary draw, Mongolia also offers some incredible trout fishing. The Lenok is a Siberian Trout, closely resembling a brown trout but with colorful red markings. The Lenok behaves much like a Cutthroat Trout in the American West - surface-oriented and cooperative. Most Lenok fishing is done with terrestrials or mice along the banks, producing explosive takes. Lenok will also feed on smaller dries and nymphs, particularly during a hatch. Fly fishing for Lenok is a fantastic way to break up a day of Taimen fishing, and it offers a glimpse into what the \"good ole days\" of trout fishing must have been like in more developed parts of the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAmur Trout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eAnother species found only in Mongolia, the Amur Trout is an extremely rare trout species that can grow large in the Buryat Headwaters section.

This cousin of the Northern Pike is found exclusively in Mongolia and resides in the same water types as you would expect to find Pike in the midwestern US. Dredging streamers through slow, deep pools and sloughs can result in savage takes by big, beautiful Amur Pike. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eGrayling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eMuch like the Grayling found in North America and Europe, the Grayling of Mongolia are beautiful, surface-oriented salmonids that make for great fun on light rods. It is common to see dozens of Grayling sipping bugs as you walk\/wade sections of the river, making for highly productive dry fly sessions. Healthy Grayling populations are a major reason why the Taimen here get so big, as they are an abundant prey species!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eEquipment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eSuccessful fishing in Mongolia only requires a couple of rods with matching reels.
