Looking for a taxidermist to mount my fish. It is a 24" Splake. The story behind the catch is more amazing than the fish itself, but it does have some beautiful red color to it. I'm trying to find someone with a lot of experience mounting and painting trout. I got one recommendation to contact Adirondack wildlife studio up in Caroga Lake, but the phone number I found has been disconnected, and I have gotten no response from the email I sent a few days ago.

Who out there has a good reputation for mounting Trout? Anywhere from Syracuse to Albany to Saranac lake and beyond, I just want it to be done right.

Carl Brainard in Warrensburg...many, many years of doing trout.

Here's one he did for me a few years ago

adirondack wildlife studio recently closed down so that would be the reason for you not being able to get ahold of him..he did do great work tho.

Jeff tenyke at Hunt Nature's Way taxidermy in Troy NY did my deer and he did an amazing job. He had a bunch of fish mounts in his studio and they all were high quality. I would certainly go there for any fish I wanted done.

Does he do pike replica mounts? Do you have a picture of your pike mount? I’m looking to get a replica mount of my fall 22lb Adirondack pike.

Another vote for Carl Brainard in Warrensburg. He is doing my daughters salmon and has done a few fish for my family and a few friends. He does great work especially on trout

Looks like i will be contacting Carl in Warrensburg! With all this work he's doing I can expect to get my fish back in about.... 8 - 10 years? Haha, thank you all for the help!
