As for food: all that is taken care of! Since we are so far from any
towns or shops (the nearest actual 'grocery store' is in Meron, about
400 miles away), the guides row a small baggage raft with staples like
potatoes, onions, wheat flour, eggs, hunks of meat, etc. They prep
each meal from scratch at camp...last year we had lots of baked/fried/
grilled meals, heavy on the red meat and starch, but very very tasty.
There's no food management issues on these trips. Local guides handle
ALL the logistics....we get off the plane in Ulaanbaatar, and get back
on 10 days later, with everything in between taken care of. That
includes interior flights, off-road transport, hotels at each end,
etc.

We drink river water: there is no point source of pollution upstream,
but we also boil and filter water for those who are insecure. However,
everyone (including SWMBO) drank river water last trip.

Beer is available, plentiful, and very tasty.

One of my friend who made this trip from France to Seoul and Ulambator took
a Korean cooker from Seoul who provided the food and service for very cheap.
Far better food than Mongolian food according to him !
Another friend of mine and me are trying to go there some time but I think
it would be difficult to join your group as we would travel from France. I
would have been great to meet American fishermen in Mongolia !
There are not only trouts in Mongolia but also taimen fishing !
