Between his report and Myron's (sans the wasting disease of Myron's

Sounds like he was in the same region as us. We also drive a full day
out of Meron, but the pictures he shows looks like a different
waterway than the Delger Muron. *But the fishing is the same.

Frank; why don't you come along this year? I'm putting together
another trip, but this one primarily for fishermen, during the end of
June. We only need 6 people total to make it happen; it will be about
10 days on-river, and for about $1700 everything will be included
(boats, food, guide, air transport inside Mongolia, etc).

I'm dying to get back out there, since I couldn't do any fishing last
time. BTW, the doctors said my arm problem had nothing to do with
being up there....in fact, the Mongolian wilderness is considerably
cleaner and more healthy than Hong Kong.

No trips like this till the kid is out of college. The price is
great, but the air fare to Mongolia is $2454, so that makes it $4154
before I string a rod.
By the way, the flight choices were either United and Air China via
LAX and Beijing or the other was Delta and Aeroflot via Atlanta and
Moscow. The cost of the latter flight was $5768. Hmm, double the
price to fly Aeroflot, the deadliest major airline in the world.
Their rating in "Full Loss Equivalents" is double any other airline.
I guess its the thrill factor.
