I only have one mounted. It was emptied before mounting, but I doubt what was in it got discarded. ;o)

I know there are multiple methods, and one retains the skull, skin, and fins- therefore establishing it as a realistic and one-of-a-kind mount. The meat of these fish is discarded, which is what makes it distainful for C&R guys. I did a google and this site is a quick study of taxidermy methods: http://www.taxidermy.net/information/fish1.html DonO ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Bliss To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2006 1:21 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] Huge Brown Trout DonO, So then - I am asking - When you mount a fish do they really leave the meat on the fish? I thought not matter what that would have to be removed. I was not trying to dig Jacklin. I have met him on my trip up there and he was very warm. I just was confused at the idea that the fish had to be taken to be mounted when I thought the taxidermist would rather just toss the whole thing. I am still I guess a little cloudy on this.

If he decides to kill a fish, it's just one out of millions he's helped by saving their habitats. A 10lb brown is very big for the area he's fishing, but browns go to 30+ lbs. The Miracle Mile just west of here was known for decades as monster brown water, with regular 10 to 15 lb browns being taken- so many hence the name. Measurements can be taken of the fish and a plastic 'Museum-mount' can be made, but there are mixed feelings about that. No matter what- it's not the fish you caught. To mount a fish requires killing it- pure and simple. Usually the meat is not eaten- given that the fish is not gutted, which would ruin the belly of the mount. Besides, a 10lb brown would not be that good for pan fare. I'd much rather a few 10" brookies, some SSU eggs, hash browns...
