Got my PB Trout Mount Back

[Reggoh]

Forgive my ignorance because I've never gotten a trout mounted... Do they use the fish's skin like a deer or do they make a replica and paint it?

If they paint them, do they make a generic spot pattern and coloration or do they try to mimic the original fish?

I'm just asking because the mount looks slightly different than the fish in your picture but the view is of 2 different sides of the fish so it could be different spot patterns.

Congrats on the fish and the beautiful artwork.
