How to Mount Trophy Fish Replicas
Mounting trophy fish replicas is very similar to mounting a regular fish. Keep in mind that a replica fish is not real and does not require guts and blood. This activity might be ideal for someone who enjoys fish but does not enjoy the task of dealing with dead fish.
Items Needed:
- Fish replica kit
- Mount
- Various tools
- Purchase a trophy fish replica kit. Unless you can make the fish from scratch, you should consider purchasing a kit. Many stores sell these kits and tell you how to make the fish replica. You can also have a specialty store make the fish replica for you. This is ideal for those who are not crafty in the fish-making department.

- Prepare your replica fish. If you do not want to purchase a replica fish from someone else, you will still need to prepare your fish. The fish will need a fake eyeball put I and painted to look like a trophy fish.
- Measure the length of your trophy fish replica. You should have an ideal size of the replica so you can purchase the right sized mount. Mounts come in various sizes and materials so these are important details.
- Purchase a wooden mountain plaque from a local hardware store in your area. Wooden mounting plaques vary in size so make sure to grab one big enough.
- Attach the replica fish to the mount. In order to complete this step you will need a mounting plate to attach the fish to the actual mount. Use the two screws to secure the mount in place.
