I am looking at getting some names of replica Taxidermists that "specialize" in Muskies. If you have gotten one done and are happy I would appreciate a name and # and maybe a picture if you have the time. I don't know about posting info here so I would appreciate an emial. Thanks in advance. [email protected]

ARTISTIC ANGLERS OUT OF DULUTH AWESOME JOB HAVE DONE ACOUPLE OF FISH FOR ME NOW KIND OF SLOW 7-8 MONTHS BUT WELL WORTH THE WAIT.

I'd check out Jack Shriver and Jack Shriver Jr. out of Staples. They do great work. I have a rainbow replica being done right now.

He doesn't do much advertising, so he's not as well known as some of the others. But Fibertech Productions out of Nisswa, MN is as good or better than anyone else. Give Mike a call at 218-963-8002 and let him explain his process to you. His attention to detail can't be beaten. He only does graphite reproductions and he only deals with fish. So this is his specialty and it shows. His turnaround time is typically 5 to 6 weeks. If you're not happy with your mount (not likely), he'll do it again for FREE. If you're not happy the second time, he'll do it again for FREE. He won't stop until you're happy! You owe it to yourself to at least check him out. And if you're in the area, stop in his shop and check out his work in person. Pictures really don't do his work justice.

The sports show coming up in a few weeks would probably be a good place to see some examples. I know Artistic Anglers is usually present along with some others. A think all the fish done at Thorne Brothers are Artistic Anglers as well... Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I would personnaly check out the work ahead of time before you decide to go with one or the other.

Setterguy,

I have seen both work of Artistic Anglers and Fibertech, both do awesome work, But I'll throw in the name of Joe Fittante of Fittante Taxidermy out of Antigo WI. also. Joe does great work and isnt happy til you are.Plus Gus made a great suggestion maybe you could go to some shows to see for ya self and see which place fits both your fish and personal needs and wants. Good luck to you.

Artistic angler also discounts his price if you sign up during the sportshows just something else to check out

[Muskydanno]

Go with Fittante you won't be disappointed! His painting and realism are second to none. Some people say his fish are too glossy but they are wet when they come out of the water arent they. He did one for me last year and i wouldn't go anywhere else.
