Looking for a taxidermist to do a golden rainbow trout for me. Cost is not a factor right now, I am looking for the best work out there. I have been using a guy for years but he no longer does fish. And is slowly getting out of doing all taxidermy period due to arthritis and such in his hands.

The guy who does my deer mounts isn't the greatest with fish. Let alone one of these.

Even if you are not a taxidermist, possibly you know someone who is and is very good at doing golden rainbows (palominos).

I am located in Northumberland County and will travel anywhere needed. Travelling is not a problem. Will have to wait until the weekend of course.

If you have any input on a taxidermist that is very good with this species, or might be one yourself, please either PM me or contact me via this thread.

I know alot of guys who specialize in trout, some are very good with brooks, some are very good with browns... etc. I need someone who knows that they are doing with a golden.

I have streamside pics, pics of both sides, belly, head, all fins, etc. Just need a guy to do the job.

Thank you.

Tony

Thanks guys... I plan to talk with all of the guys mentioned here in the next few days.

treetipper, can you possibly send a picture, when you get the chance of course, of the fish Paul did for you? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all and keep the input coming if anyone comes across anyone else they may know.

Thanks everyone for the great advice.

I had Gary in my sites since the winter. We discussed him doing a brookie for me. His golden in his gallery 2 on his website has me sold. Thats as real as they get.

I appreciate everyones advice, I was considering looking around but I think Gary is the man for this job.

Thanks again to everyone who gave advice and input on some great taxidermists. One thing about Gary is he is rather close for me so it's killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
