Searching for Chinggis

Sorry it has been so long since our last update, things have been crazy on the river. In the last 7 days we have: arrived into camp 4 times after dark, taught our drivers how to use a GPS (reason we arrived after dark..) and managed to break our first rod of the trip, we have also needed to ask for directions at least a dozen times (remember no marked roads...), Needless to say, we have had our hands full. Fishing finally picked up last week, a few nice Taimen to hand kept our spirits up after the brutally tough start we had in the beginning. The fish have been looking up at gurglers and other mouse patterns have been the ticket, I must say there is something awesome about watching a three footer come up to the floating bug. All in all things are going great, our crew is learning the ropes and we are finally learning the river.

More updates about our next leg of the trip in a few days, a 7 day exploratory down a remote drainage in Eastern Mongolia.

This weeks shout out goes to Brunton for their solar panels and charging systems, they have been keeping us juiced even though we haven't seen any real power source for the last few weeks.
