Mongolia

We consider Mongolia our specialty with over 7 years of on the ground guiding experience on these programs.

Options.

There is more than one way to peel an orange and there is certainly more than one way to fish in Mongolia. If you’re anything like us this will just leave you wanting to come back year after year to experience it all.

Below you’ll see a variety of options for fishing in Mongolia. We fish two different river systems during two different times of year. The summer program is on a scenically dramatic river system located in north western Mongolia, the season here runs from June 15th - the end of August. The autumn program offers much more classic Mongolian steppe scenery with a touch of fall foliage and operates in the north eastern sector of the country, this program runs between early August and late October.

Each catchment and season has something different and unique to offer. Hot summer days with hoppers abounding while fishing in shorts and sandals is always enjoyable but the change of autumn makes for exceptional scenery with warm fireside vibes and if you time it right, voracious feeding patterns from fish preparing for a harsh Siberian winter.

Classic Canyons Adventure.

Summer

Hosted Trip with Jeff Forsee, June 25th - July 5th, 2024.

On this 7 day, 8 night, wilderness float trip you will float from camp to camp on what is one of the most scenic rivers we’ve ever stepped foot on. Towering cliffs stretch skywards from some of the best taimen water on the planet. In addition to the healthy taimen population you will also have the opportunity for some of the best dry fly fishing we’ve experienced, targeting the endemic lenok trout and grayling. Accomodation is rustic but comfortable, the food is tasty, the scenery world class and smiles abound on this all time river journey. Contact us today for more information on the adventure of a lifetime.

Expedition.

Summer

This is likely the most adventurous program that we offer, anywhere. Not only do you get to venture all the way into the depths of Mongolia but once you arrive you’ll hop on a horse and ride it as high into the headwaters as foreigners are legally permitted to go, you will be just kilometers form the Russian border. This journey is not for the feint of heart and you must be in good physical condition to participate. Once you reach the top of the river aka “The Temple,” you will begin to walk and wade fish your way back down stream through waters that only a handful of anglers can say that they have fished. On the upper river we stay in tipi spike camps and over the last two days of the trip you will float fish between ger camps.

Upper River Adventure.

Autumn

This is the flagship Mongolian fly fishing experience and is considered a classic and favourite amongst returning guest. Floating this low gradient stream is as enjoyable as it gets when it comes to river trips. And travelling from the comfort of one ger camp to the next during autumn on the 50th parallel north is about as cozy as it gets in this part of the world. There is no better way to watch the world go by than from the comfort of a fleet of Clackacraft drift boats either, purpose built for fly fishing. It’s remarkable that a program like this exists in such a remote corner of the world. Oh yea, the fishing is pretty darn good too. This system boasts a large variety and robust populations of native cold water species, not the least of which is the great hucho taimen.

Lower River Expedition.

Autumn

Hosted Trip with Jack Scott, October 3rd - 14th, 2025.

This section of river flows on below the for-mentioned Upper River Adventure and through a National Park with little to no access. Most other humans encountered on this journey are nomads on horseback - it is a truely remote wilderness fly fishing experience. Due to the nature of access, most camps you will float between on your journey are tipi style spike camps which remarkably boast the comforts of heated dining tents and hot showers. This section of river is host to the same variety of species as the upper river and often the most difficult decision of the day is wether to fish the main flow for taimen or search out amur pike in the backwaters and oxbows.
