Thread: Brown Trout mount

Up on the wall and looking good. Tongariro taxidermy did a great job on the mount.

Ripper fish & mount.

That is a beauty what did it weigh?

Never weighed with scales as I didn't have any. According to the measurements taken and condition factor, 10 - 11lb.

They certainly look great with lockwood walls behind them.

Ripper mount mate! You'll be running outer space soon.

that's so good ! Cheers for sharing !

Great looking mount. As a matter of interest is that a replica of the fish or the actually taxidermied fish itself?

I talked to the taxidermist, he said to do the traditional way was alot more time intensive therefore expensive. Also reckoned typically get a better result doing a representation based off of measurements, colour and photos.
Bodes well for fish that are caught but are over maximum size such as in the Rangitikei back country.
The key here is to take measurements and photos as quickly as possible to minimize damage to the fish in order to effect a safe release.
