Jeff Currier was one of the candidates to speak at our club's "Spring
Fling" next April. He just returned from Mongolia and posted a TR. Between his report and Myron's (sans the wasting disease of Myron's arm), this is a trip I definately want to make. http://www.jeffcurrier.com/adventure...golia_2008.htm Frank Reid |

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. --riverman |

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. Frank Reid |

The cheapest flight from mid-US is Korean Air to Seoul, then Mongolian Air (MAOT or something like that) to Ulaanbaatar. Should be around $1500 from the US. Still, keep it in mind for another time... --riverman |

You considering it? :-) If we can get a trip of just flyfishers, then there's no 'social pressure' to make river miles, etc, and we can fish the river pretty intensely. --riverman |

Here's one stating that if I need to bail you out of some third world jail, you'll be happy to sit there and rot. Another one that says if you bring home some weird communicable disease, you authorize me to euthanize you with a rusty spoon. Oh, what was that? Oh, don't worry silly, the insurance gives double indemnity if you die by a rusty spoon." Frank Reid |
