Thanks all, much appreciated. If you are interested in seeing a bunch more photos from this Mongolia trip, I have completed processing them and now have a gallery of shots on my website here :

Really sweet stuff there, Henry. Are you using a Singh Ray Blue/Gold on any of those shots too?
The one of the guy resting his studded boot on the raft tube is pretty scary..
Awesome yurt.
I don’t have the Blue/Gold filter from Singh ray – just a couple of their awesome 77mm LB polarising ones……..have thought about it, perhaps I need to look at playing with one ? But I tend to do what I can in bad light and work on cutting the sky out when it is grey and washed out (shooting fishermen against rocks, mountains, trees etc.), and then enjoy shooting wide when the light goes off.
I was waiting for their raft to start sinking via the studded boots, would have made a fantastic photo – get the shots and then tell them they are going under !! Anything for a photo…….
I find it far easier to get more dramatic shots if you tell the guys AFTER the event !! I do a lot of lure fishing for our sea bass (a bit like smaller versions of your stripers I guess) over here and in Ireland, and sometimes the conditions get a little “lively” – I saw this wave coming and saw the shot straight away. “Did you not see it coming ?”, I asked my two (soaking wet) friends afterwards………….!!
yeah, I don’t have one either, have thought about getting one and some of your photos just reminded me of examples I’ve seen shot with it…
Simply amazing and inspiring stuff Henry! Yes, you my friend are the envy of every traveling spirit that ever picked up a fly rod or a camera. And happily for us in your case, both! Keep ’em comin’ dood!
My thanks for such kind words. There is some awesome stuff posted up here by some very talented people, I love looking at it – nobody makes fishing look as good as fishermen.
Dude!! You are killing me!!!!!!!!! I was suppose to be up in the steppes, for several months, and down in Ulaanbaatar. Had to cancel due to some serious family illness.
The photographs are awesome!! Sure that my rugged mountain Yak’s would not of held a candle up to that incredible and quite comfy river resort of yours. ;D Someone told me about these a while back but I just haven’t had the time to come back and comment. Love the shots!!!
Awesome Henry!
I was recently looking at your pics from the Bahamas too.
I’m hoping to follow in your footsteps (on that particular island in the Bahamas) and if I just get one picture as good as you’ve shot, I’ll be stoked!
Thanks for sharing!Guys, thank you so much, means a huge amount that people look at the stuff and like it.
Simon – I so want to get back to the Bahamas, and specifically Inagua. Shot that stuff a while ago now, but I am still fairly pleased with some of it.
