elkaholic Report post Posted June 16, 2013 man that's one old trout - huge ole girl - very unique coloring - +1 on a molded mount painted to match- send lots of pics -if available easiest cheapest and last forever without cracking or fading- ( or sometimes smelling- lol ) back in the day - I use to do this for the boy scouts - using t-shirts instead of rice paper - so the could have a copy of the fish they caught and still eat them - lol make a fish print - just make a pile of sand /fine dirt to lay fish as flat as possible with the fins visible - clean/dry fish of water and then paint -fabric paint- - apply t/shirtand pat lightlightly and you get a good print of the fish it looks alittle bigger as the roundness of the fish to get all the fins - but the boys didn't mind - dated and even a hand print - was a cool way to show off their catch http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/family/fish-activities3.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
