Fish Taxidermy Tips

Proper Field Care for Fish:  Fish Taxidermy without a doubt begins with proper field care.  If your goal is to produce the best looking mount possible, make sure you start with an fish that has had excellent care in the field.  This will greatly effect the quality of the finished mount.  So you have caught a mountable trophy fish, what do you do?

1. Never let the fish flop around in the boat or cooler

2. Place the fish on ice as soon as possible

3. When you get home, measure your fish to order supplies:
   A:  Gill Plate to Base of Tail
   B:  Measure width of the eye in millimeters
   C:  Measure around the fattest part of the belly of the fish

4. Wrap your fish in a very wet towel.  This will protect the fins when frozen.

5. Place in a plastic garbage bag, seal it tightly and freeze it at once.

Fish Reference and Anatomy:  To understand fish taxidermy you must first have a true understanding of the fish you are mounting.  The most valuable thing you can do is develop a library of fish reference material.  I started out with Bass because they were plentiful in my area.  You can start by clipping fish pictures from fishing magazines and taking photos of the fish you catch.  One of the most valuable things I did was get a large aquarium to place live fish in to study.  This advanced my fish taxidermy to a whole new level.  Think of what I learned by watching a live 6 lb bass.  Keep as much of your fish taxidermy reference material at your work area as possible.  As you mount your fish, study each area with your reference.  See how close you can come to duplicating a live fish.  Do the same thing when painting your fish.  Develop the habit of trying to duplicate a living fish every time you sit down to work.  This will help you in becoming a Master at Fish Taxidermy.
