GRAYLING FISHING
Shiver Grayling Fish: The Shiver Grayling is found in all tributaries of the Selenge River in the North Pacific drainage basin, as well as in the Khurimt, Songinot, Yoltin rivers, the lakes and rivers of the Darkhad Basin, Khuvsgul Lake, Terkh Lake, the source of the Tuul River, and the Orkhon River.
The Mongolian grayling (Thymallus brevirostris) is a native fish of the endorheic basins of Central Asia. Its distribution includes the Khovd, Buyant, Bukh Murun, Kharig, Chigestai, Bogd, Yaruu, and Zavkhan rivers, as well as Khoton, Khorgon, Dayan, Achit, Khar, Khar-Us, Khongor-Ulun, and Tolbo lakes.
Amur Grayling Fish: The Amur Grayling is distributed across the Onon and Kherlen rivers and their tributaries. It has been recorded in the Khalkh River and Buir Lake.
Khuvsgul Grayling Fish: This species is native to Khuvsgul Lake and its tributaries, living exclusively in this region.
Yenisei Grayling Fish: The Yenisei Grayling is found in the Shishkhed and Shargin rivers in the Darkhad Basin (North Pacific drainage), as well as the Tes and Borshoo rivers in the endorheic basins of Central Asia.

TERELJ RIVER
Gorkhi-Terelj National Park is located 70 km northeast of Ulaanbaatar. Not far from the city, you can see unique natural formations of mountains, rocks, plants, flowers, and birds, as well as get acquainted with the life of nomads. The rocks of the area are made of granite rocks of the Mesozoic era, and have been eroded by water, wind, and years, forming strange shapes. One of them is a large rock in the shape of a frog, known as “Turtle Rock.” The Terelj Mountains are the source of rivers such as Terelj, Khurkh, Baruun Bayan, Dund Bayan, and Zuun Bayan, which flow into the Tuul River.
KHERLEN RIVER
The Kherlen River originates in the Khentii Mountains and flows 1,382 km through the eastern part of Mongolia, flowing into Lake Hulun in China, and then becomes one of the sources of the Amur River, passing through Russia and China before flowing into the Pacific Ocean north of the Japanese islands through the Agnuur Sea. The Great Khentii Mountains branch is named "Kherlen River" after the confluence of the Kherei Tolgoi, the Bogd River, which originates from the Budan Tsagaan, and the Tsagaan River, which originates from the Kherei Tolgoi at the foot of the Khentii Khan Mountain. The main feeders of the Kherlen River are the Bogd River, Khoriud, Iluur, Khongon, Terelj, Tenun, Gurvan Saikhan, Zorgol, western and eastern Burkh, Bayangol, Gutai, western, eastern and middle Baidlag, and 37 large and small rivers flowing in the areas of Umnudelger sum of Khentii aimag and Mungunmort sum of Tuv aimag. Below Baganuur, 4 rivers flow into it: Galuut River, Tsenkher River, Avarga River, and Murun River. It flows from the forest-steppe zone of the Khentii Range to the dry steppe zone, and the river is 2020 meters above sea level at its source and 625 meters at its end. Water and meteorological watchmen have been stationed along the Kherlen River and have been conducting regular observations and measurements. Based on the data of the guards, the average flow over many years was determined to be the highest in the Baganuur district, 23.5 m3/second, in the Chinggis city area 21.4 m3/second, in the Choibalsan city area 19.4 m3/second, and in the Altan Emeel city area of China 14.2 m3/second. The water level of the river in the warm season decreases to an average of 200-220 cm in the upper reaches of the river, around Baganuur district, 150-170 in the middle reaches, and 130-160 cm in the lower reaches, around Choibalsan city.


ONON RIVER
The Onon River is the first major tributary of the Black River, originating in the Khentii Mountains of Mongolia. Its catchment area is 94,010 km². It flows northeastward for 298 km through Mongolia, crosses the border of the Russian Federation, and flows through the Inner Baikal region of Siberia. It flows for 445 km through Mongolia, and for a total of 818 km, it merges with the Ingoda River to form the Shilka River. The Onon River freezes from the end of October until it freezes in the second half of November, and is covered with ice for 150-170 days. The average thickness of the ice reaches 1.2-1.5 m. Since it is a fast-flowing mountain river, the autumn freeze lasts for relatively long days (14-25). As April warms up, the river ice thaws and the snow melts, causing spring floods, so the river is not so clear for long. The Onon-Shilka-Khar River is one of the top 10 longest rivers in the world (818 km + 560 km + 2874 km). The Onon River is a mountain river, so it has a high gradient and a fast flow. In some places, the flow speed reaches 1.5-2.0 m/s, but below the Balj confluence it decreases to about 1.0 m/s. The major tributaries of the Onon River, the Agats, Balj, Eg, Barkh, and Jargalant rivers, flow through mountainous terrain with steep slopes.
BALJ RIVER
The Balj River is the largest tributary of the Onon River. It originates from the Khumul Saridag Mountain, located between Burkhan Khaldun and Sokhond, a continuation of the Khentii Range in Russia, and flows for more than 40 km in Russia and about 180 km in Mongolia, before joining the Onon River at Ishin Mountain and Khadyn Uvur in Dadal Sum. The river valley widens towards the end, and its flow branches off into several dense islands. Major rivers such as Khyurkhan, Khumul, Amgalant, Galttai, and Tengeleg flow into the Balj River.
