Fish Mounts Realistic or Not

your realistic mounts might be skin mounts? I'd say that rainbow was, for sure. misshapen fins and the face looks pretty natural, not perfect like a repro.

Its all in the paint job and the taxidermist that is doing it.  Most skin mounts don't even use the head or fins.  When I get one done it will be a plastic mount by a taxidermists that specializes in fish.

Like em all !  Just depends how close to original.  Ive pulled big brookies outa snow banked streams that looked fake they were so vibrant.
Mfowl:
That brown trout in the faie pics looks pretty good to me. The others, not so much. The realistic ones all look great!

Id agree with you. It seems like most of the fish mounts I find unappealing to the eye have too much shine to them. Like the clear coat was overdone to make the fish look wet, but really just made them look fake.
