Services & Process

North Ridge serves Geneva's mix of Lake Erie anglers and Ashtabula County hunters with fish and game mounting work. Lake Erie is one of the top walleye fisheries in North America, and a trophy walleye mount is a natural request in this part of Ohio. Steelhead trout from the nearby Chagrin and Grand rivers are another popular species for mounting in Ashtabula County. Deer shoulder mounts and turkey work serve the inland hunting community, with skull cleaning and antler mounting rounding out the service list for customers who want simpler display options.

Service Area

North Ridge Taxidermy serves Geneva and Ashtabula County along the Lake Erie shoreline corridor of northeast Ohio. Anglers from throughout the Lake Erie fishing communities and hunters from the inland portions of Ashtabula County make up the studio's customer base. It's a convenient choice for anyone fishing the Geneva-on-the-Lake area or hunting the county's wooded southern townships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount a Lake Erie walleye caught near Geneva?
Walleye mounts are a very common request for this area, given Lake Erie's reputation as a top walleye fishery. Both skin mounts and fiberglass reproductions are options, and the taxidermist can help you decide which suits your goals best.
Do you mount steelhead trout from the Grand River or other tributaries?
Steelhead from the Lake Erie tributaries running through Ashtabula County are a popular mounting request, especially during the spring and fall runs. Get your fish to the studio quickly and avoid letting it freeze with the belly uncut for the best results.
What's the turnaround time for a fish mount?
Fish mounts typically take several months, though reproduction mounts can sometimes move faster than skin mounts depending on the studio's current volume. Calling ahead during peak fishing seasons is a good idea since wait times can increase.
Do you handle deer and turkey mounts in addition to fish?
Yes, deer shoulder mounts and turkey work are standard services alongside the fish mounting. Ashtabula County has solid hunting, and the studio serves both the lake fishing community and the inland hunting community.
What does the studio's shoe store connection mean for taxidermy customers?
North Ridge operates as a multi-service local business, which is common in smaller Ohio communities. Calling ahead at (440) 466-7991 is the best way to confirm current taxidermy availability and scheduling.
How do I transport a large fish to the taxidermist without damaging it?
Wrap the fish in a wet cloth or paper towel and place it in a plastic bag before putting it on ice or in a cooler. Avoid bending the fish, and try to keep the scales and fins as intact as possible during transport.
