Welcome to Pike's Taxidermy.  My name is Troy Pike.  I am a local fisherman (Rochester Minnesota area) and a professional fish taxidermist.  I went to the number one school in the nation for fish taxidermy.  American Institute of Taxidermy (AIT) in Bolder Junction Wisconsin with master instructor Dennis Rinehart (47 years of experience) in march of 2007.  I specialize in fish and small birds only so my turn around time is alot faster than most taxidermist's because I don't do large mammels, large birds or small mammels.  Please look at the "I caught a nice fish now what" page.  It is full of information and tips for sportsmen who might catch that big one and arn't sure what to do with it.  Got a tip that I missed, Please email it to me and I will add it.
