How To Choose The Fish Replica Right For You! Rivertown Gallery has what you've been looking for!
You've worked hard at fishing. You've put in the hours perfecting the art form. You are finally rewarded with landing a memorable fish! Congratulations!
Now you want to preserve that hard work & beautiful fish. What's the best way to do that, you ask?
Fish replica, wood-carved fish, or a fish portrait?
Let’s dive into the differences and pros of each art form and how you can choose the one right for you and your living space!
Fish Replicas:
Unlike the traditional skin mount, these pieces of art allow you to keep your trophy fish from anywhere. Now when you practice catch and release, you can still preserve your fish! Also, unlike traditional taxidermy, replicas never wear out.
As a lifelong angler & former guide, I love doing fish replicas. I've been an artist of the underwater world my whole life, which helps me create a realistic & accurate replica of your fish.
Takeaway: If you want to go all out and get a 1 or 2-sided replica of your fish, mounted by itself or in a habitat, a fish replica is the way to go!
Replicas get me fired up as an artist so the challenge of trying to duplicate that in a sculptural form is a great canvas to work with, and it brings out my love of fish and the technique of perfecting the art of replicas.

About Wood-Carved Fish:
These 1-D art pieces are historical by nature. Before taxidermy, fishing lodges would craft wood-carved fish replicas for fishermen who wanted to preserve their catch.
I keep this tradition alive at Rivertown Gallery so you can choose a single-sided, wood-carved fish today! For those who love to preserve art, history, and wildlife all in one, a wood-carved fish is for you!
About Fish Portraits:
Different than a replica or wood-carved fish, fish portraits allow a different kind of art to capture your fish. Watercolors & acrylics have their unique qualities & can capture the intricate detail of a fish's habitat as well as the fish itself.
Your amazing catch can be preserved as an original watercolor or acrylic fish portrait painting. Let's say you have limited space, or simply prefer paintings you can frame and hang up. If that's you, fish portraits are the way to go!
Fish never bore me. I'm always excited from the smallest of sunfish to humongous saltwater fish. I just find beauty in each one: from a wild trout and its amazing color palette to the prismatic colors on a leaping Tarpon. So each commissioned portrait is accurately painted to represent your amazing catch!
The opportunities are endless! Give me a call at (870) 425-3898!
Have a great day and may you keep catching amazing fish!
