    Default Fly Fishing in Mongolia

    So I'm going to Mongolia...

    Just kidding.

    After that last thread about Spain, I was left wondering how many of you have been, or know anything about this mysterious salmonoid that lives in Mongolia.

    Anybody got any pics?

    In Mongolia we are quite cut off from information on flyfishing, I have been surfing the web and
    found your site, it truly is great, with good and useful information for people starting up and for the
    experienced person. People might think that in Mongolia we don't do much fly fishing, when I arrived
    in 1991, the Mongolian fishermen would look at me and say to themselves "what is he doing" today
    we have a group of about 50 people flyfishing. Thanks for the great site "AT LAST"

    I have watched shows about fishing there and the flies they were using were tied to look like squirrells. IF the fish eats a squirrell, I wanna catch him. I forget what the things are called now but they devour these top water squirrell flies and weigh heavy in the double digits.

    They are called Taiman. They are a member of the Huchen family. Taiman can also be found in far eastern Russia and on Sakhalin Island.

    I personnelly have not fished for them but from the reports from people who have, they say the most exciting part of fishing for them is their surface take. The fight afterwards is pretty much anti-climatic.
