Mongolia Taimen Camps |
|
| Sweetwater Travel pioneered Taimen fishing in Mongolia. After nearly 30 years, and hundreds of happy fishermen, Mongolia remains one of our favorite fly fishing destinations in the world. Sweetwater has refined its operation and offers unrivaled expertise and comfort for the fly fisherman. After all if you are traveling all the way to Mongolia to fish, why wouldn’t you fish with the only group of guides who have been in Mongolia every year since 1995? In our 28 years in Mongolia, we have broken just about every world record for Taimen on a fly rod. Simply put, there is no other place in Mongolia where you have a better chance to catch, and release, the fish of a lifetime. |

The FishingClients will fish two to a boat. Our guide staff at the camps consist of highly experienced guides, who are professionals and well respected in the fly fishing world. They are very personable and will do everything possible to make your fishing vacation in Mongolia a memorable one. During the week, you will fish for impossibly large Taimen and the Asian trout - the Lenok with dry flies. This past season was a really great one, and we are expecting 2024 to be a great season. |
AccommodationsFishermen will stay in traditional Mongolian gers which are felt tents wrapped around a collapsible wooden frame. They are 9 feet high and 18 feet in diameter, much larger than standard wall tents, and are equipped with framed full-length single beds, ample room for storing gear, and an area to sit down & relax by a wood stove. Each Ger accommodates 2 fishermen. |

Why Mongolia Taimen Camps
For most, just the opportunity to experience a pristine landscape, undeveloped river valleys lined with healthy forests or a pair of Mongolian riders driving their stock through a river meadow on a crisp fall morning is enough. But for the fly fishermen, Mongolia makes a great trip even better; it is home to the world’s largest trout that will attack your skated dry flies. In fact our largest taimen yet, a 60 inch fish, was taken on a mouse pattern in a particularly narrow stretch of river.Itinerary in brief
