Get Your Fish To The Taxidermist In Great Shape
 |
Before you go on your next fishing trip, do a little planning for mounting your catch. Your fish trophy will look great if you do a few things before, during, and after your trip. Making sure your fish is in great shape when you take it to the taxidermist is simple if you follow a few of these hints.
Fish lose their color after they’ve been dead for a while, so getting your fish to the taxidermist quickly is important. The taxidermist needs to see the natural colors of the fish to get the most accurate reproduction. Your trophy will end up looking better if you take good care of it before you take it in. Here are some tips for making sure your fish is in good shape when you to get it mounted.
One important thing you can do is record the time, date, and location of your catch. If you used a special lure, you might want to record that too. Take pictures of your fish — the taxidermist can use these to reproduce the fish’s colors. This information is also useful since you’ll want to put it on the fish trophy itself.
Treat the fish gently. You want the fish to look great after it’s mounted, so handle it with care after you catch it. Blemishes take time for a taxidermist to repair and may show up in the final mount.
If possible, pack the fish in plastic and ice right after you catch it. This will help keep the fish’s color. It will also preserve the fish, which helps the taxidermist. Keeping the fish in good shape is the aim. If you can’t freeze the fish immediately, put it in a cooler or somewhere else cold. Another option is to keep the fish alive in water.
Your trophy will come out great if you take care with your catch and bring it to the taxidermist in great shape. These hints will help you make your trophy as natural as it did when it came out of the water. Good luck fishing!
