Fishing guide
Siberian Taimen (Hucho taimen) is the largest representative of the salmon family. It can reach over 132 pounds (60 kilograms) in weight and up to 2 yards (2 meters) in length. It inhabits the cold rivers of Siberia and Mongolia and never goes to sea. It mainly keeps near deep holes close to the shore. This species is active day and night. In the daytime, the Taimen picks shaded areas, and at night it moves to the nearby shallows with a fast current. At dawn, the Taimen hunts very noisily for small fish on the riffles. An adult Taimen feeds on small fish. Starving individuals often attack chicks, frogs, mice, squirrels, and various waterfowl.
If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Siberian Taimen would be to use Common Minnow on a size #10/0 hook.
If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Mouse Lures.
The most successful lure is Rose and White Ribbed Shad 15 cm.
