16 Yrs Ago Sweetwater Landed in Mongolia!

Mongolia's Premier Taimen Camps

Where Else On Earth Can You Catch a 56 inch Trout on a Dry Fly?

Sweetwater Travel pioneered Taimen fishing in Mongolia. After 16 successful seasons, and hundreds of happy fishermen, Mongolia remains one of the most unique fly fishing destinations in the world. Sweetwater has refined its operation and offers unrivalled expertise and comfort for the fly fisherman. After all if you are traveling all the way to Mongolia to fish, why wouldn’t you fish with the only group of guides who have been in Mongolia every year since 1995?

Our biggest fish of 2010 was a 59 inch beast landed by Marles Frankman of Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Our biggest fish of 2011 was a mere 56 inches with several others landed in excess of 50 inches.  2011 was one of our best years of fishing to date.  It is evidence that our approach to conservation and catch and release fishing works.  In fact, we landed one fish, a 54 incher, that we had been fishing for since we first saw it in 2000.  In our 16 years in Mongolia, we have broken every world record for Taimen on a fly rod.  Simply put, there is no other place in Mongolia where you have a better chance to catch, and release, the fish of a lifetime. 

The Lenok Trout fishing was outstanding in 2011. With a great terrestrial hatch in late summer, and the traditional mayfly hatches in the fall, the Lenok kept all of our anglers busy. We are expecting 2012 to bring another great year of fishing.

Mongolia presents a rare glimpse of a wild, exotic land unchanged.

For most, just the opportunity to experience a pristine landscape, undeveloped river valleys lined with healthy forests or a pair of Mongolian riders driving their stock through a river meadow on a crisp fall morning is enough. But for the fly fishermen, Mongolia makes a great trip even better; it is home to the world’s largest trout that will attack your skated dry flies.

Taimen Conservation Project

With the generous support of the World Bank and anglers from around the world,
Sweetwater Travel Conpany has launched the world's first Taimen Conservation project on the Eg-Ur watershed in Mongolia. Working had in hand with Mongolia's Buddhist community, the Mongolian Taimen Conseravtion Fund, and our American non-profit, the Tributary Fund, our Taimen conservation project will protect the world's most robust Taimen population.

We utilize only single, barbless hooks, and all of our fishing is catch and release. We manage our river very carefully to insure that all of our anglers have the fishing trip of a lifetime. We are not an eco-tourism company that does some fishing. We are professional fly fishing outfitters who have pioneered fly fishing for Taimen.

For more information on how you can help the Taimen Conservation Project, please call 888.347.4286 or email conservation@sweetwatertravel.com.


If you fish with a company that has dead fish on its website, you will not only be supporting the demise of Taimen, but you will also have a very disappointing trip when you discover that the fish in the pictures are no longer in the river. Please support responsible outfitters.
