Title: taxidermist help
Post by: rdhammah on May 24, 2017, 09:11 AM
I am looking for a reputable taxidermist who does a good job on fish. My dad had a butterfly coi fish for over 10 years in a back yard pond. He had an incident with the pond and Stephen Tyler passed away. My brother and I want to have this fish preserved for my dad. the Taxidermist that I used a couple of years ago in Haverhill no longer is in the business. looking for someone preferably on the north shore. I did check out one in Middleton but was not impressed

thanks.

Somebody to check out. Good luck.
Stay away from Classic taxidermy in Middleton. I heard they are horrible time and cost wise.

Thanks. just spoke with Jeff. sent him pics to see if he could do it.  Classic - I checked him out when I was looking for someone to do a bass and was not impressed. he had nothing at all to show like what he has on his web site

I know its an old post but here it goes...Andrew at Back River Taxidermy does fish and anything you want.  Very reasonable and great guy.  Maybe a ride for some of you but he is in Hull MA.  backrivertaxidermy.com

Here is a 30" fluke I had done as well as a 16.5" crappie from the 2016 season by Northeast Taxidermy. Both are absolutely beautiful! I am pretty sure if you call and ask they will do yellow perch as well.

That is correct. But they do skin mounts as well.

No problem just asking.
