The Lake Country Replicas Line of Fish Reproductions

At this point in time Lake Country Replicas has six distinct lines of Fish Reproductions to offer to the Taxidermy Industry.                                                    They are defined as follows: Premier, WPremier, Signature, Traditional, Lyons & O’Haver, and Traditional A.

All Fish Replicas are manufactured to order. Consequently, the lead time from order to shipping varies by season as well as other factors sometimes beyond our control. The following are our current projected lead times have recently been, as of 1-15-2026:

Unassembled Replicas--- 8-9 weeks

Ready to Paint---10-12 weeks 

Painted---about 7 months

And, always as soon as we are able to.                       

 There is no guarantee for Christmas on replicas. Please ask for the current status of the lead times as they do fluctuate often.                                                In the spirit of being fair, we do not offer a "Rush" service.  

 

Premier Series                                                                                                                                                                                   

Premier Series Replicas are the preferred line of replicas that are good both sides and can be pedestal mounted. Dense foam                                                                                                    blocking can be placed where requested. Unassembled replicas have no seams to grind and can be glued and epoxied together                                                                                                          in less than 2 hours. Our suggested assembly instructions are in the catalog and online. Suggested assembly instructions - follow this link.

 

Wall Premier Series

Wall Premier Replicas are similar to the Premier Line, but, are not good both sides. They should be used for a wall mount only. 

 

 

Signature Series

Signature Series Replicas are replicas made from the initial molding of the actual fish (Pre-Premiers). Unassembled replicas will have                                                                                                      a seam to grind and fix, fins to cut out and shape, and paired fins to cut in. Gills (when needed) will have points of contact that will                          need to be cut in. The expected assembly time is around 4-6 hours. Assembled replicas will have textured seams. 

 

 

 

Traditional Series

Traditional Series Replicas are a conventional set of molds purchased out of Canada for the large and unique specimens. They are made                from skin mounted fish with the traditional skin mount poses. Unassembled replicas will have a seam to grind and fix, fins to cut out                                                                                              and shape, a mouth and gill area to cut out and sculpt, and teeth to apply. Gills (when needed) will need to be cut in and are inserted in                                                                                              a traditional manner. The expected assembly time is 6-8 hours. Assembled replicas will have textured seams, sculpted mouths, applied                                                                                      teeth, and eyes inserted. All Traditional Series Replicas are wall mount only. 

 

 

 

Lyons and O'Haver Series

Lyons and O'Haver replicas are a conventional set of molds purchased out of California to expand on our West Coast line of Saltwater                          Replicas. They finish and require work the same as the Traditional Series Replicas. All Lyons and O'Haver replicas are for wall mount                                                                                                only. This line also includes replica molds purchased from Gander Taxidermy out of British Columbia.

 

Traditional A Series

The Traditional A Series Replicas are another set of molds purchased in 2024 for many unique pieces that complement the lines we                have already established. They work out and finish the same as the Traditional and Lyons and O'Haver Series Replicas.
