Services & Process

Everything Fish Art specializes in fish mounts, the kind of detailed work that preserves the exact coloring, fin position, and body shape of a trophy catch. Both skin mounts and fiberglass reproduction mounts are part of the conversation here, with reproductions being a popular choice since they don't require keeping the fish and allow for catch-and-release fishing. Beyond the mount itself, finishing and paint work are critical to a fish piece, since fish coloring fades quickly and a skilled artist has to restore or recreate it accurately. The fishing category connection also suggests this shop understands what anglers care about when they want to memorialize a personal best.

Service Area

Everything Fish Art is based in Spanish Fork and serves anglers throughout Utah County and the surrounding region. Fishermen from Provo, Springville, Payson, and areas near Utah Lake and Strawberry Reservoir are all natural customers. The shop is also accessible to anglers coming out of Salt Lake County who want specialist fish mounting work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a skin mount and a reproduction fish mount?
A skin mount uses the actual fish's skin stretched over a form, while a reproduction is a fiberglass replica painted to match photos of your fish. Reproductions have become increasingly popular because they're often more durable, allow catch-and-release, and can be made to look just as lifelike.
Can I get a mount of a fish I caught at Strawberry Reservoir?
Absolutely. Strawberry is one of Utah's top fisheries and trophy cutthroat and rainbow trout from there are popular subjects for fish mounts. Bring the fish in fresh or frozen, or take detailed measurements and photos for a reproduction.
How do I keep a fish in good condition before dropping it off?
Place the fish in a sealed plastic bag and freeze it as soon as possible, laying it flat so the body shape isn't distorted. Don't gut the fish and try to avoid handling the scales, since any damage will show in the finished mount.
How long does a fish mount take to complete?
Timelines vary based on the shop's workload and the type of mount, but fish mounts often take anywhere from a few months to close to a year. Reproductions can sometimes be turned around faster since they don't require drying time for the actual skin.
Do you need a license or documentation to have a fish mounted?
For most Utah sport fish, a valid fishing license and compliance with size and bag limits is all that's required. If you're dealing with protected species or fish from certain regulated waters, it's worth double-checking current Utah Division of Wildlife Resources rules.
Can a taxidermist match the exact colors my fish had when I caught it?
A skilled fish taxidermist can get very close using reference photos taken right after the catch, since fish coloring fades quickly after death. That's why taking a clear photo on the water immediately is one of the most important things an angler can do before putting the fish on ice.
