    Dear Fisherman: Mongolia offers one of the last wildernesses in Asia and in the World. It has got plenty of waters with often rich marine life. One of the largest living freshwater fish on earth, the Taimen (Hucho Taimen) lives within the waters of various rivers and lakes.

    The Taimen is a particularly ferocious fish which can often obtain weights of 50 kilos or more.

    Our major species are: Salmon (Taimen), Trout, Pike, Grayling, Sig, River Perch, Siberian Umber, Roach, Ide, Bull Ide, Golden Carp, Amur Catfish and Burbot.

    Fishing Camps: Located in the Northern Mongolia and in Central Mongolia, we have exclusive permission for fishing on one of the best Taimen rivers of Mongolia. A typical fishing day begins with early morning breakfast and return to our Fishing Camp for dinner and overnights.

    Cuisine at the camp is a variety of Occidental and Mongolian dishes. Each meal is complemented with homemade soup, a variety of salads, fresh-baked bread, a modest dessert, coffee and tea.

    Recommended Rods and Lines: A 9 ft rod for 9 or 10 wt lines is generally recommended for Taimen fishing. We fish for Taimen with both floating and sinking lines; a simple mouse-pattern fly can bring Taimen to the surface, but in the deepest pools try a large streamer with a sinking line.

    An example of what to expect when fishing in Mongolia, In this case was taken to extremes. We have now called this fishing spot the MUD HOLE: This is the classic of Simon.

    Taimen are known to the Mongolians as the "River Wolf". They are an exceptionally ferocious predator which feed on birds, prairie dogs, mice, and fish.

    Others species are the Lenok- the Mongolian equivalent of a trout, generally around 15 to 20 inches (2 to 3 lb) they can grow to over 30 inches and the Grayling are plentiful in Mongolia's rivers.

    Taimen conservation - Catch and Release is exercised!.

    Recommended Rods and Lines: I never even cast my 9 weight fly rod I because we found taimen only in deep pools with fast current. Under different conditions, large streamers and mouse imitations should work. I caught all of my fish on a medium-heavy seven and half foot glass bait casting rod with an Ambassadeur 7000C Synchro reel loaded with 25 pound monofilament.

    If anything, I was undergunned. Joan used an 8 foot spinning rod with 20 pound mono; 40 pound braided line would have been a wiser choice. All of our fish were caught on baits in natural colors; the best single lure was a Heavy Duty 6 inch Bomber Long in the rainbow trout pattern. We also caught fish on a Husky Pikie in silver flash, Rapala wobblers in silver, and mice imitations. For lenok and grayling, a 3 or 5 weight fly rod with a floating line would be ideal.

    A 9 ft rod for 9 or 10 wt lines is generally recommended for Taimen fishing. We fish for Taimen with both floating and sinking lines; a simple mouse-pattern fly can bring Taimen to the surface, but in the deepest pools try a large streamer with a sinking line.

    For Lenok ( trout ) and Grayling a 5 or 6 weight rod and line is suitable . Spin-lure anglers are welcome and can achieve some great catches; fly-fishermen might consider bringing a spinning or bait-casting rod as back-up; we ask you only to use lures with a single hook.

    More Recommended Tackles:
    The list of recommended tackle and fishing equipment includes 2-3 weight rods for medium and heavy drag, spinning reels with lines ranging from 0.20-0.30 mm. High quality reels such as Shimano, Aero GT or Stradue are recommended, as well as a sufficient number of lures (floating wobblers of 14 cm-18 cm, spinners, rubber, dummy fishes and other systems).

    Fly-fishing anglers are advised to opt 6-8 AFTMA rods averaging 295 cm in length and to bring a set of both dry and wet flies nymphs. Under different conditions large steamers and mouse imitations work well. One catches lenok and grayling with 3 or 5 weight fly rod and with floating line.

    Taimen (Hucho taimen)
    Fly tackle: 9 foot rod AFTM 8-10 – alternatively a two-handed salmon rod may be used. A floating line and a selection of floaters (T-200, T-300). Short and stout leaders 1-1,5 meter 15-25 lbs. And a robust fly reel with a solid brake system and a capacity of 150-200 meters of bavking. Large flies are needed to tease the taimen effectively. Streamers same type as used for pike preferably 12-20 sm long or tied as tarpon flies made of light and colourful materials. A must are large mouse patterns tied with deer hair. They work well in sizes up to 10 cm body + tail or as big as can be cast on the fly rod.

    Spinning tackle: A stout 9-10 foot rod handling 10-40 grams (a heavy pike rod) with a strong spinning reel holding 150-200 meter of 15-25 lbs. line. Wobblers suited for pike, surface wobblers (mice) a selection of pike spoons and large spinners.

    Lenok (Brachymstax lenok) and Grayling (Thymallus thymallus)
    Fly tackle: a light rod 8-9 foot AFTM 4-7, a standard fly reel with a floater, 9 foot leader 5-7 lbs., a selection of dries, nymphs and streamers.

    Spinning: A 6-7 foot rod casting 5-15 grams 5-7 lbs line and a selection of spinners, wobblers and spoons as for trout fishing.

    If you are a fisherman, Mongolia is destination to be experienced and definitely not to be missed!. top

The summer is a very pleasant time because, although temperatures can reach +40 ° Centigrade, the air is very dry. Summer evenings can be cool because of Mongolia's high altitude.

    TESTIMONIALS:

    From:"William S. Brown"
    Organization: University of Alaska, Southeast,
    To: Samar Magic Fishing Tours

    Dear Sir,

    I wanted to send you a note to tell you how much Joan and I enjoyed our trip to Mongolia. We cought lots of fish and Daschka, Narita and Dagay (I'm sure I'm spelling their names incorrectly) made the trip all the more enjoyable with their sense of humor and professionalism. I will think about Mongolia in the months and years to come -- and hope I can figure out a way to return. They tell me there are bigger taimen out there...We've developed our slides and have sent the best ones back to get prints. When they come back I'll scan and e-mail them to you. If there are any that you want for your brochure, let me know and I'll send you hardcopies. Do not hesitate to give my name to people as a reference. Bill Brown

    From: Paris, France

    Dear Sir ,

    First I would like to wish you as well a very successful new year. Since I came back from my trip with your organization, I never had a chance to thank you for the quality of our stay. From the welcome at the airport until the last night at the hotel (!) we have been treated as VIPs !. Given the exceptional drought condition on the river, we had a very successful fishing trip and your effort to take us on an other river, while not as good as it could had been, has had the merit to make us discovery astonishing scenery (volcano, lake, etc.) . We have enjoyed staying in the Mongolian tents and to be treated as good by your team. I would say that it has been a trip of a lifetime time but that is not completely true as we intend to come back and to be treated as good...Eric Gabas-Varini (Paris, France). top
