Taimen Fishing in Mongolia
Brent and Caitlin are back from an unbelievable trip to Mongolia, doing research for the Taimen Conservation Fund.
They saw some amazing fish, including a bunch over 40 inches.
Taimen are possibly the most dramatic of any freshwater fish. They nuke mouse flies on top (which are fished 90% of the time), and leap like tarpon when hooked. They'll be sure to have hundreds of stories (including the 40.5 inch Taimen, caught on a 5 weight cane rod, a size 12 hopper and using 3x tippet!)

Be sure to stop by and chat with them about this amazing trip. There are still some spots available in the Fall Season, to experience these unbelievable fish for yourselves.

I too researched those fish quite a bit when I first heard about them, any fish that size that will hit a dryfly is awesome. I believe they are a salmonid. I would give my left nut to go on a trip for those big bastards.
