Need a very large Brown Trout

Discussion in 'Fish Taxidermy' started by Newwave06, Jun 19, 2017.

  1. Does anyone have a mold for a 43" Brown Trout? Looking for a 40 + lbs. blank.

    I think Bevs has a 39" , but that's the biggest I know of.

    They have a 43" Atlantic salmon might work with some alterations. http://m.fishrecreations.co.uk/site/mobile?dm_path=%2F&fw_sig_session_key=d3a01b441150667ea0a06b6c188ce1781fb580f5c44f55defb5522cab73a5366-50158393&fw_sig_is_admin=0&fw_sig_locale=en-US&fw_sig_api_key=522b0eedffc137c934fc7268582d53a1&fw_sig_url=http://www.fishrecreations.co.uk/&fw_sig_site=50158393&fw_sig_premium=1&fw_sig_permission_level=0&fw_sig_potential_abuse=1&fw_sig_time=1497948978253&fw_sig_tier=1&fw_sig=11b6a701773f7060adf81709e84006b0&fw_sig_access_token=2373d9357d48b44beee8c413c61a99e3e553e4c3&fw_sig_permissions=none&fw_sig_partner=webs&fw_sig_social=1&fb_sig_network=fw#2032

    O.K., I don't usually recommend this, but Envision 3D has a Chinook salmon #CH-16 that is 44 x 29.5 and 45 lbs. It would require working the anal and tail fins, as well as changing out the head, but you would have the mass. The caudal peduncle is thick enough and the adipose fin is large enough to pass.

    It sure would be nice if you would post your final decision and a photo of the result. It's always nice to have closure! :)

  10. Hi Guys, still searching for a big one. He wants something as close to the world record as possible.

    ]If your client is thinking of the worlds record from New Zealand, I checked photos of it and I still think the Envision 3D would work! A little work on the head, and changing the anal and caudal fin, and he's a match! That's what I would do. It isn't often that salmon can be made (realistically) to look like trout, but in this particular case I think it might work.

    I tried to attach photos of both for comparison, but couldn't do it.

    There, as far as I can see, lengthening the maxillary, and perhaps a little remodelling of the head should suffice. Along with the aforementioned and obvious fin changes. The basic body shape looks good though.
