The Taimen Trout is the world's Largest Trout (Huncho taimen) 

with a record catch of 231lbs!! Also known as the Mongolian Terror,

the Giant Eurasian Trout, the Siberian Salmon.

The most common bait is a mouse or a rat.

Or if fly fishing- a large artificial mouse.

The Taimen Trout is being framed with my watercolor study

of the Lenok Trout in a Double Watercolor Image Framing

titled "Trout of Mongolia. This is my second double

painting of Asian Fish - with the first being titled

'Trout of India' with the Indian Trout and Tibetan Snowtrout

that are really carp that have the appearance of trout-

therefore, are named as they are.

You can view the 'Trout of India' on my website.

The Taimen is an amazing trout, as a typical trout is only

2 or 3 lbs, and the Taimen Trout can weigh 100X as much!!

Non-Professional Photograph.

I am continuing my series of Asian Trout

with the Lenok & Taimen Trout, found

in Northern India,Mongolia & China.

Both are very large trout with the Lenok

getting  over 20 lbs. and the Taimen(Giant Eurasian Trout)

getting over 200lbs!! A 2 pounder for a normal trout

is considered a good catch!

Watercolor Studies of Indian 'Trout'

This is the finished double Watercolor Study of Indian Carp

that are named trout due to their resemblance to Trout.

As I mentioned, the idea of this Watercolor Study came to me through

an antique book on Game Fish of the World from the 1930's.

The book is a great inspiration- in fact the section on

Cuban Game Fish was written by Ernest Hemingway!

While I like the Indian Trout the best- I could not leave out

any fish named 'Tibetan Snowtrout'! My problem now is

what section to I put this on my web site? I have  Trout Pages

and other fish pages - which one?

One of the enjoyable aspects of these 2 Carp/Trout is that

even though they are only distantly related they have the

 exact same color palette - making the dual painting

work that much better.
