    Lake Trout Overview

    The Lake Trout occurs throughout Canada and well into Alaska as well as the Great Lakes and in sections of the western U.S. where it has been introduced. Like other Chars, it has white leading edges on its lower fins and light spots on a dark background, as opposed to dark spots on a light background as found on all Trouts and Salmon. Lake Trout are very valuable as a game and food fish, and are highly effected by pollution. Information courtesy of The International Game Fish Association. Also related to the Lake Trout are the Siscowet and the Splake. For more on Lake Trout, including valuable world record catch statistics, log onto the I.G.F.A. website.

Custom Fish Mount - FAQ

What is a Release Mount?

A Release Mount is a mount of your trophy fish produced without any of the actual fish parts. Almost all saltwater mounts are Release Mounts, which are constructed of lightweight composite materials and are cast from pre-existing molds. These mold impressions were originally taken from carefully selected fish. Your authentic mount is hand-painted and one-of-a-kind.

How long will my mount take to create?

Normal lead time is 90 days or less. Expedite Production Service is available on most mounts, reducing the time to under 30 days. Each step requires precision workmanship and must pass final inspection before progressing to the next stage, so timelines are estimates. We prioritize quality over speed. Rest assured, we never compromise on the quality of your custom mount.

How are mounts attached to the wall?

It hangs like a picture. A sturdy hanger comes balanced and installed in each mount. All that is required is a screw or nail to be inserted into the wall. Our lightweight mounts are produced using hollow-cast fiberglass. For outdoor locations, we offer a 2-piece stainless steel hanging bracket system that is extra strong and burgular-resistant.

Are real fish still being used?

No. The marine taxidermy industry produces 99% of all mounts using composite materials. The change from β€œSkin” to β€œComposite Mounts” occurred in the 70’s and 80’s, and has not been well publicized. After measurements and photographs are taken, release your fish alive and order a β€œRelease Mount”!
