Changing your Plans: Last Minute Decison Pays Off BIG!!!!!!

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

That fish will make an awesome mount Luke....I'd go skin personally but you'll get people telling you to go replica....(even though 99% of them don't own one)

Whichever you choose make sure you take in those photos with the fish....taxidermy is an art and it helps alot to replicate of they see what you actually want in the end....

Trout are the most difficult mounts that I've seen and are usually the ones that look the worst if not done well....

I'll send you those pics tonight you wanted of mine....the guy does great work but is in SW Ontario....

Thanks RJ.

And to anyone else who have recently had a mount done. If you have any pics of the mount and the fish when it was caught I would be interested in seeing. Also let me know who did the work for you.

Here's a link to all the high res pics we took if anyone is interested in seeing (measuring tape included). We were playing around with the different flash modes. It was an extremely bright day so I wasn't sure what the best setting would be.
