Animal of the Day!
Siberian Taimen (Hucho taimen)
(Photo from Wild Salmon Center)
Conservation Status- Vulnerable
Habitat- Volga River; Pechora River; Yana River; Amur River
Size (Weight/Length)- 90 kg; 1.8 m
Diet- Fish; Small mammals; Birds
Cool Facts- The Siberian taimen is the largest trout species in modern history. The largest taimen ever caught was a whopping 2.1 meters and 105 kilograms. They are extremely fast fish, targeting smaller fish and even rodents or birds that come too close to the shoreline. Siberian taimen can live into their 50’s but it can take a decade before they’re sexually mature. This slow growth results in their population being at threat from intensive fishing efforts. Luckily, much of their population is protected and instead catch-and-release practices are emphasized. Efforts to limit illegal poaching and river pollution are being attempted throughout Mongolia and China.
Rating- 13/10 (A beloved fly-fishing target for those Twitter profile pics.)

モンゴル釣り遠征 Vol.5 最後のBIGFISH、誰も信じないホラ話
さーせん!さーせん!とだけ言わせてください。モンゴルから帰ってきてからというものかなりバタバタしていて、諸々の言い訳を並べていたら9月にまたモンゴルへ行ってきてしまいました...。その時の模様は近々別媒体で公開されるのですが、もう忘れちゃいそう、いや、忘れる事は出来ないあの出来事を記事にしてからタイメン編を終わりにしよう!来週からはまた遠征を控えているし...という事で、最終回の始まり始まり〜。
Vol.4はこちらから
翌朝、どこか慣れた感じで3人ともいつも通りに起床し、いつも通りに崖を降りる。そして皆それぞれの「マイウォーター」を打ちながら川を登り降り。先に顛末をお話しすると、結局前日のメーターよりも大きな魚は出なかった。旅の最大魚はペスの釣った125cmのタイメン。しかし、ただの「結果」だけでは消化仕切れず、わずか3ヶ月後にまたこの地を踏んでしまう出会いと別れがそこにはあったんです...
