Fishing in Darkhad Valley in Khovsgol Province

This fishing adventure allows you to discover the wild rivers of northwestern Mongolia, under the expert guidance of our expedition leader, who will take you to the best fishing spots in Mongolia’s northernmost province, which shares a border with Siberia Russia to the north. This is a wonderful opportunity to take a relaxing, peaceful journey through some of Mongolia’s most impressive scenery in the far northwest.
Fishing in Alag Tseel River and Darkhad valley. We will spend the day fishing in the river, surrounded by impressive snowy peaks. This valley is a paradise for bird watchers because of the number of lakes (more than 300). This small and slow-flowing river is also rich in graylings, lenoks, as well as surprisingly large taimen.
Fishing in Shishgid and Tengis rivers, a fly fisher's paradise, where your guide will be able to direct you to the best spots for Siberian salmon, Armour River pikes, burbots, lenok, grayling, and taimen. The taimen is known as the ‘giant trout of Asia,’ and can grow up to 6 feet! Get creative making those flies – Taimen has been known to eat rats and ground squirrels!
