North-east Mongolia (Khentii Province)
FreshwaterOnon River taimen sanctuary, Amur basin, Khentii — Buryat headwaters, upper and lower sections
Mongolia River Outfitters, the company behind Fish Mongolia, spends each autumn on the Onon in Khentii Province, an Amur-basin river it made a taimen sanctuary in 2008 together with WWF and six local districts. Small groups drift at least 100 km a week, two anglers to a guide, sleeping in gers or tipis that move with them down the headwaters, upper or lower section. Every fish is taken on a fly with a single barbless hook and released.
September to October
The float trips run each autumn, from September into mid-October. In summer, June to August, the same company fishes the Delger River as Fish Mongolia.
First is the fish the lodge leads with.
