Quality Fish Work For The Discriminating Angler

Taxidermy Services

As any fisherman knows, catching a trophy fish does not happen everyday. So why waste your trophy and money, on anything less than the best! That is having it recreated with a high quality and high detailed reproduction.

Taxidermy Reproductions - These are for the catch and release anglers or anglers who choose to keep there catch for the dinner table. They are made of gel coat and very strong fiberglass resin. They can match your fish to the exact inch and will last a lifetime unlike skin mounted fish which will in time deteriorate. With personal photographs they can be painted to match your actual trophy fish. Information needed will be length (nose to tip of tail) and girth (fattest part of fish, usually at the dorsal fin). Any photographs will help determine the color phase of the fish.

Custom Taxidermy Reproductions - These are for the angler that has a personal attachment to their own fish. We use your fish to make a custom mold and cast a fiberglass reproduction from it. This gives the angler the best of both worlds; their very own fish hanging on their wall and long lasting reproduction. Live photos will also help to determine color phases of the fish.

Fish Habitats - These are created based on the preference of the customer, whether it’s a driftwood wall hanging or a pedestal of stone and river bottom. The possibilities are endless when comes to recreating a habitat that perfectly represents your hometown lake, pond or stream.

Fish Eyes - These are also hand painted or even hand made for your fish. I believe in giving custom eye to go with a custom fish. Commercial eyes do not capture the realism that a custom eye can achieve. In most cases no two species of fish have the same pupil size or shape. So by custom painting or custom making my own eyes I can create the correct pupil for your fish.
