Fly Fishing Camp
Posted on September 1st, 2007 by adminMongolia Fly Fishing weeks
Our fly-fishing weeks at the taimen camps are designed for discerning yet adventurous fly-fishers, who want guided fishing for the prime fishing weeks in the season, and who appreciate good camp accommodation with a comfortable bed, hot showers, great food, and professional organisation.
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 fishing
The fly-fishing is a combination of wading and drift-boat fishing from inflatable rafts. There are a number of good taimen pools close to each of the camps, and we will drive further a field each day in the camp’s 6WD truck, or take the drift boats. The drift boats are customized inflatable rafts are equipped with rowing frame and casting seats for two anglers. The fishing programme is varied through the season allowing us to fish different beats and avoid over-fishing the same pools. You will be accompanied during the day by one of the camp’s Mongolian or Western guides, who will show you the good pools, row the raft, select good flies and lures, and help you to land and photograph your catch.

Food & accomodation
Our Taimen fishing camps consist of traditional Mongolian gers (yurts), enabling us to provide a uniquely Mongolian experience in a genuinely eco-friendly camp. Gers are cozy felt-wrapped tents around 5m in diameter, and are heated with a wood-stove. The comfortable guest bedrooms are gers sleeping two or three guests. One ger is equipped as a shower house and a large ger serves as the dining room. The camp is supplied with fresh meat, fruit, salad, and vegetables every week. Meals include a range of tasty European and Mongolian dishes, and cold beer and wine is served at dinner, included in the price.
