Fish Skin Mounts
The traditional method using the actual skin of your catch, expertly preserved and custom painted to capture every detail.
About This Service
A skin mount is the classic form of fish taxidermy. We carefully remove and preserve the actual skin of your trophy catch, stretch it over a custom-fitted form, and hand-paint every detail to match your photos. The result is an authentic, lifelike mount that captures the exact character of your fish. Skin mounts are ideal for anglers who want to preserve the real trophy - fins, scales, and all. Based in Granbury, Texas, we serve anglers throughout Hood County and the North Texas region.
