| Taimen fly fishing or spin
fishing on one
of the best Mongolian river - Chuluut river.
Chuluut river in Mongolia is an unbelievably perfect fishing
destination, where you can fly fish or spin
fish for taimen, the largest member of the salmonid family.
Highlights of fishing in Mongolia include clear Chuluut river,
fish abundancy, tranquil fishing, stunning surroundings and
beautiful wild nature. Not to be overlooked is the exquisite dry
fly fishing for lenok trout and grayling. Fishing for taimen is
only catch and release.
Chuluut. The Chuluut river rises in Egiin davaa of the
Khangai mountain range and flows for 415 kilometers north to
join the Ider River. The Chuluut river flows through a sheer
basalt canyon which extends 100 kilometers from the mouth of the
Teel River to the Atsat. The basalt is formed of lava of nearby
extinct volcanoes such as; Khorgo volcano and others. The river
is 15-25 meters wide, 3 meters deep and covers 10750 square
kilometers and the speed of stream is 2 m/sec. Many lakes and
rivers feed to the Chuluut river such as; Ikh jargalant,
Khuremt, Tuul, Ajirga, Khangal, Bumbat, Ulziit, Murun, Uujim,
Daaga, Atsat, Teel and Suman etc. The Chuluut River is rich in
fish such as taimen, grayling and lenok.
Fly Fishing, Spin Fishing. The taimen,
the largest fish in the salmon family, is a real challenge to
catch – try your luck on this tour. The average sized taimen is
around 40 to 60 inches long (1m – 1m 50cm) and 20 – 70 lbs (9-30
kg). Taimen is an aggressive fish that feeds on anything they
can fit in their mouth, from minnows and fry to mature grayling
and trout, or even small birds or rodents.
The fishing can be done either with fly or spin fishing tackle.
Siberian taimen, grayling and lenok are the species you will
catch among the spectacular scenery of Mongolia's exotic nature.
You will stay at a fishing camp on the river Chuluut in the
northern
region of Mongolia. The fishing area in the campground extends
over 100 km along the river and the surrounding area is
sparsely populated. The peaceful environment offers a perfect opportunity
to escape the tension of the city and relax and unwind.
Fishing Tackle. A 9 ft rod for 8 or 9 wt
lines is generally recommended for taimen fishing. For fly lines
we recommend floating, sink tip and sinking lines
(T-200/300) depending the water conditions.
For lenok and grayling a 4-6 weight rod and floating line is suitable. Medium-heavy spin fishing rods 8-10' for lure weights 15-40 g.
Spinning reels or bait casting reels are recommended for spin
fishing.
Flies, Lures. We fish
for taimen mainly with surface flies on floating lines and
sinking lines too. Streamers fished with a sink-tip line are
also effective, especially in the deep pools. We will provide
taimen flies; however, you should bring a selection of dry-flies
for lenok and grayling. Some files for taimen: Dave's hoppers
size 6,8,10, Cricket patterns size 6,8,10, Lefty's Deceiver size
2/0-4/0, big wooly buggers 2/0-4/0, Lead eye bunny patterns
2/0-4/0, Mouse patterns 1/0, 2/0. Good lures are 6' Bomber Long A
rainbow trout colour, Husky Pikie in silver flash, Rapala
wobblers in silver and mouse imitations.
Fishing Season. The best
times to fish in Mongolia are spring, summer and autumn - our
main season is June through to end July and then again from mid
of August through September and October. The official season
begins on June 15th, and the fishing is excellent through to
mid-July since during this time the fish is most active after
spawning. From mid July to the end of August there is a greater
risk of flooding and if the weather is warm the taimen are less
active. Through September the weather gets increasingly cooler
and the taimen become more aggressive, making it the most
popular and best fishing season. The fishing season actually
continues all through October, but it is often too cold to fish
comfortably, late season fishing in October is suitable only for hardest of anglers.
Accomodation. Our Chuluut river
fishing camps consists of traditional Mongolian gers (yurts), small wooden
houses and huge tents. We have our own vehicles and experienced drivers, a
fully equipped fishing lodge with all facilities, a highly skilled chef
cook, a professional fishing guide, exclusive permission, special license
and private land for fishing. All meals are included in price.

the airport and continue with domestic flight fron Ulaanbataar to Murun.
