I’m tossing around the idea of getting a replica made of a recent pike I caught. Looking for recommendations if any one has gone down this route.
I have length measurements & 3 girth measurements. Pike was 28.3lbs
Let me know if there is a go to company or a really solid local Albertan or Canadian taxidermy outfit that could do it.
I haven't got one done yet, but I'd use advanced taxidermy out of Ontario.
Yea I thought of advance, I have never got anything remotely like this done. But every time I close my eyes I re see this beast. I will continue my google search.
Be sure and send the taxi you use your pictures.
I’m amazed at how different the patterns and colors of fish of the same species can be.
I haven’t had a client keep a trophy in I dont know how long. Before releasing we take plenty of pictures from different directions and angles of just the fish to send to the taxi with the measurements so they can really nail it for you.
Back in the day when trophy’s were kept I think most taxi’s were going off of book pictures because by the time the frozen or salted fish got to them the true color was long gone.
