Outlined below are some tips on proper field care. If you find yourself
unable to immediately take your trophy to your taxidermist, the following
tips will help ensure that your trophy will be in the best condition
possible for the taxidermist.
Start
by wrapping the entire fish in a wet towel, taking care to keep the fins flat
against the body. Roll it up in a plastic bag and lay flat in a freezer. Do not
wrap a fish in paper or cardboard. If you choose to have a reproduction made,
follow the steps outlined below:
-
Measure the entire length of the fish.
-
Measure the girth of the fish at the widest
point.
-
If possible, take several color photos from
different angles.
