I recently got my 29-pound steelhead reproduction back from Dave Campbell of Puyallup, after a two and a half year wait. It was worth it. Dave's attention anatomic posture and detail has to be seen to be believed. I thought I would share this photo of it and give his business a plug to boot.

Beautiful steelie and an excellent job by Mr. Campbell for sure on the reproduction.

For those of us who don't know the story behind this fish, what river did you c&r it on?

Maybe a dumb question, but was it the Sol_Duc?

In a little stream about a 1000 miles north of here. I could tell you, but I then I would have to.............well, you know.

God, that's beautiful - and thank you for keeping this brutes genes where they will do the most good.

very cool

Beautiful. Some of the best Taxidermy work I've ever seen. How much does he charge per inch?

Does Dave have a web site? Just in case I catch something worth remembering.

Wish I could get one that big on my line.

As far as cost, I can tell you mine was 44 inches long and he charged me about $2,500 including the glass case, and I did the base work. His standard per inch fee includes a simple base, but you can go up from there.

To my knowledge Dave does not have a website. He Is 2 1/2 years backlogged by word of mouth advertising only. I'm guessing he does not want one.
