Mongolia Fly Fishing and Taimen Conservation

Welcome to the TAIMEN.MN blog. This will be a site about Mongolia’s Taimen, conservation, science and fly-fishing. Taimen are a prehistoric MEGA TROUT; simply an amazing fish, but threatened across their range, by poachers, irresponsible sport-fishing, habitat loss, pollution, gold mines, “ninja” gold-panners, and mis-management of fisheries. But its not all bad news; there are fantastic pristine rivers with healthy Taimen populations in Mongolia – we just have to work hard to keep them that way. This blog will provide information and debate on the issues, as well as general information about fly-fishing in Mongolia.
