Taxidermist ?
My neighbor asked me where he can get a fish mounted yesterday. I haven't had a fish mounted a fish in 35 years myself. I remember a guy named Yeager I think on the burlington north avenue not sure he is still doing it. He was our last person to mount a fish and before that Renaud from Winooski before he stopped to focus on animal mounts.

Oh good! I remembered his name after posting.. Great he is still active doing mounts! I liked it when it was $100 for a 30 or 40" fish in the mid eighties!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Taxidermist ?
Picked up a lake Champlain brown from him a year or so ago. He is still doing it as far as I know. Here is his email;)

Here is a salmon he did for me. It is not as blue as it looks in the ic, my room lighting was off.
And a pic of the lake Champlain lake record laker he took when I stopped in last time:)
He did a great job, lakers can be a challenge!

Nice job on the mounts! He has come a long way since the mid 80's on his mounts! He was just starting out then. My neighbor will contact him. Thanks Matt.

Re: Taxidermist ?
This is the Lake Champlain brown he did for me during Covid. I think this is the best mount I have ever seen…
He hand painted every spot to perfectly match the fish…
