In Search of Monster Taimen Look No Further Than The Far Reaches of MongoliaMy fellow Denver fishing Pal and often drinking partner, Dr. Fred Miller, was off on another adventure and this one was unlike all the others he's been on before. Dr. Fred has been to just about as many places as anyone I know and just when I thought I had him beat with a Patagonia trip year before last, he one upped me and already had his booked a few months before mine!
Having talked with Jeff Currier about his last trip there I knew this was a place I wanted to visit, now it's just a matter of time, lot's of luck and oh yeah, a bank account much different than the one I have now! Dr. Fred and another friend of mine Todd Fehr, also tagged along for this amazing trip and I know I'll be hearing these big fish stories for years to come. These Two guys fish a bunch together and we fish much of the same water. They both got me hooked on Tarpon fishing in Boca Grande and I still can't wait to meet them down there for some fun as well the next few years.

Mongolia Taimen Fishing is an exceptional adventure fishing destination: a land of rolling steppes, rugged mountains, and verdant forest, inhabited by hardy, hospitable nomads. The wild rivers teem with fish; Grayling, Lenok Trout, and the legendary Taimen, a mighty salmonid that grows to monstrous proportions.
Just another day in the office for Dr. Fred
A FLY-FISHERMAN'S DREAM
Mongolia's rivers are a fly-fisherman's dream destination - clear water, abundant fish, tranquil fishing, and stunning surroundings. Experience the excitement of catching a mighty Taimen on a dry-fly. Enjoy exquisite dry-fly fishing for Lenok and Grayling.
SPECTACULAR SURFACE TAKES
Imaging wading clear cliff fringed pools and casting a mouse fly to metre-long sighted taimen - feel the anticipation as you retrieve, then the surge of adrenalin as the Taimen explodes out of the water to take the fly before a making reel screaming run!
CATCH THE BIG ONES!
The average sized Taimen are around 28 to 30 inches long (70 - 80 cm) and 10 to 12 lbs. There will be many opportunities at trophy Taimen over 40 inches (100 cm).
OVER 100KM OF RIVER
to explore in a stunning river valley and canyon. The river has fantastic wading with a rocky or gravel bed, lots of interest and structure, and many cliffs and Taimen pools.
