Famous Darkhad valley - Dreamland of a proud fisherman, in the northernmost part of Mongolia invites you to share its rich fishery! It's a place where the Taimen- "King of the river" swim freely within the waters of Darkhad Depression with Lenok, Siberian White fish, Grayling and Paled, just waiting to be caught. We offer you private fishing sites with Taimen pools and guarantee the best possible catches! The trip facility is the best in its nature: comfortable lodging, local friendly guides and staff support. During the trip you will be just eating, resting and fishing. If you are a fisherman, and want to catch big Taimen, this is a destination definitely not to be missed!!!
The Darkhad Depression is famous for its spectacular landscape, unique cultures and traditions of ethnic minorities and excellent wilderness. The fascinating snowcapped mountains of Khoridol Saridag and Sayan Mountain Ranges, many pure and untouched mountain rivers and lakes make this region incomparable to anywhere else in the world. This region is well known for also Tsaatan or Reindeer people, who live in the high mountain taiga, breeding reindeer and still remain shamanist.
The Rivers Shishghid and Tenghis are world famous for their enormous Taimen. Taimen, so called King of the Rivers, is one of the largest freshwater fish on earth, can be up to 1.6 m in length, average 0.5- 1.4 m. Taimen are the major sport fish in Mongolia and can be caught on a large imitation mouse fly or prairie dog sized lure; the surface takes can be spectacular! Fishing in Mongolia isn't just all about casting huge flies for these giant trout: dry-fly fishing for Lenok and Grayling is exquisite. Spinning and lure fishing is excellent too. Siberian grayling, Siberian white fish, Lenok, and Taimen can all be found in this the region.
The stunning nature of the region will make you relax perfectly and you will feel at home from the friendly and willing assistance of Selena Travel local fishing guides and other staff. Pools, often at the end of a riffle or rapid, or at the base of a cliff, are always a good bet when looking for Taimen, but they will also lie in wait in a hole or trench in the river bed, or even hunt in packs to chase the grayling through the riffles. There are a number of good taimen pools close to each of our lodges, and we can hike or take the jeeps further a field each day to find additional Taimen waters. Our group sizes are kept small to ensure plentiful fishing for everyone.
