Luke Filmer, Gig Harbor. Blackwater Trading Co. Not cheap but one of the best. Check out his website. He's done a couple for me and my son.

Luke at Blackwater is a friend of mine.  I can't speak highly enough of his work.  Myself and my dad have work done by him.  True artist.

I just checked out Luke's website. I will be contacting him. His works looks fantastic! The steelhead is a fish my dad caught a few yrs back that is in the mid 20 lb range. He has been wanting to get it mounted since he caught it but has been dragging his feet about it. So I think I'll surprise him with it next year. I think that fish will be done with the river bed wall mount. As for the salmon one is a real nice silver my wife caught that is pretty colored up but it was her first salmon/ fish ever. Prob do that o e with just the fish nothing else. And the last is a 40 lb king I caught when I was high school. My dad had a skin mount on it done but the thing is falling apart so I want a new one done that will last. Might do that one in a drift wood mount not sure.

A guy in Shelton does them as well. He is Dave at Hunters Edge Taxidermy. Reasonable prices and excellent work!

 Todd did a steelhead for me back in 89, it still looks fantastic.
