For the avid fisherman: Eg-Uur River Basin, Mongolia
If your old man’s hooked onto fishing, you don’t have to fly too far to enjoy one of the top fishing havens in the world. The Eg-Uur River Basin in Mongolia is one of the last remaining homes of the world’s largest trout, the hucho taimen.
Also known as the Siberian salmon and locally as “river wolves”, the taimen is a fierce and cannibalistic monster that can grow up to 2m and weigh up to 90kg. Needless to say, fishing for them is not for the feeble or the faint of heart.
Mongolia’s fishing season is from June to November. Do note that the catch and release of taimen is strictly enforced here.
