Our destination is Mongolia, the land of Genghis Khan, in search of the legendary Taimen, the world's largest trout species, with Michael Caranci from Mongolia River Outfitters. Visiting Mongolia feels like stepping back in time.  About the size of Texas, it’s the least densely populated country in the world. Here, Taimen thrive in its pristine rivers growing over 50 inches.

Michael first visited Mongolia in 2015 and fell in love with its people, culture, and fly fishing, and has returned ever since.  A published writer with over 20 years’ experience managing fly fishing lodges, Michael shares insights on Taimen, their diet, habitats, and how to go after them, fly rod in hand. We also delve into Mongolian culture and the unique experiences it offers. If you are looking for an adrenaline-fueled adventure, this episode is for you.
