Ron Kelly Taxidermy by Randy Rowley

Randy recommends Ron Kelly Taxidermy for fish replica mounts.  All you need to do is to email him a few pictures (ideally showing both sides, the top, the bottom, and the mouth), the fish’s weight, length, and girth.  He’ll ship the finished product to you.  Ron does excellent work and is a master taxidermist with 42 years of experience.  He has been voted “Best All-Around” Taxidermist in Texas twice.  Ron can be reached at 214-663-5299.  His shop is in Rockwall, east of Dallas.
