Hey, I thought about you today when I read this in the newspaper, **BG**:

Catch-and-release anglers have it rough: They fight hard to land their fish but never have anything tangible to bring back home. Not any more. Taxidermists have begun making wall mounts of just about every fish known, using resin and plastic, with no animal harmed to make the trophy. Fishers just name their catch, then select a taxidermist, who will go to a shelf, pull down a blank, paint it, stick on synthetic fins. Fake-fish trophies are increasing in popularity, reports the New York Times, and they cost just about the same as a mount for a real live dead fish. Betsy Marston, Editor High Country News
