Mongolia is often perceived as having vast steppe landscapes and the Gobi desert, characterized by barren and dry areas. However, it has over 4,000 rivers, numerous lakes, and is home to some of the planet's most spectacular fish species, making it an angler's dream destination.
Despite its landlocked status, Mongolia's many deep water lakes and rivers are teeming with the fish. Besides taimen, a distant relative of the Atlantic salmon, anglers vie for lenok (a type of trout), grayling and pike, among others.
