Folks,
I need recommendations for a good fish taxidermist near Conway, Ar. Caught a 3.1 lb.er yesterday on Sardis Reservoir in Miss. I may never catch another that size so I want a good wall mount. Been looking on line but would appreciate some feed back from experience.
Allen Dykes in Grenada Mississippi does the best I have seen on Crappie!!

Dang BRM those are some nice fish!!!
Harper's in Damascus does really nice work.
Thx. Allen Dykes in Grenada mounted both of them. He paints and shapes them like they really look. The top one came from Washington and the bottom one from Grenada. You can see the difference in their color for the time of year and water color when they were caught.Quote:

Don't know where you should take your fish but congratulations on a great catch.

Lots of good taxidermist out there. Some paint way better than other others though. Crappie are NOT black and white!!!!
Check the tape job on the ends of the fins and tails. My top fish I did natural. I had him repair the breaks in the fins on the bottom fish. Allen still took the time to trim out the ends of the fins and tail on that one to make it look like a real fish.

Congratulations on an impressive catch.
My buddy Philip Cook is an EXCELLENT taxidermist. You will not be sorry. He does taxidermy as a side job but has been doing it 15 plus years. So he is very fairly priced, does a good job, and has pretty quick turn around time because he does not keep his freezers full of work. His side business is called CY Taxidermy. Check your PM's I put his personal information in there for you. I too can mount it but I am about 2 hours away.
