What Will You See?

We will feature the beautiful work of Paul DeAngelo who has been practicing the art of taxidermy for over 26 years, including 19 years working with trout and salmon in New York.

We will be showcasing all five species of Pacific salmon, as well as other fish common to our local area.  We will also feature Paul's taxidermy skills with wildlife other than fish.

The showroom will be located at Salmon King Lodge, in a dedicated building that is large enough to warrant the name "showroom".

Please stay tuned here for more information about the showroom, and the Opening Day announcement.

Paul DeAngelo

Paul is a Connecticut native who was drawn to New York as a fisherman and taxidermist.  Paul relocated his business, DeAngelo Unlimited, to Oswego County, who's reputation for salmon fishing is second only to Alaska.  He designed a 3,200 square foot studio and work area with bright lighting, and an exhibit area of mounted fish.  He welcomes walk-in visitors and tourists.  He has created a place of inspiration for both the serious angler, as well as the newcomer to fishing - to catch their own trophy mount fish.

The Art

Paul prides himself on his attention to detail and quality mounts.  His work is extremely realistic and lifelike.  In addition to preparing angler's trophy mounts, Paul also creates displays of underwater scenes in dioramas.

His work is displayed throughout the Northeast, and in fact, across the country.  Paul's mounts in their high-action, anatomical poses have garnered him a reputation, and a following across the United States.  Once you own a Paul DeAngelo mount, you will want no other.

 The Process

Each mount is carefully measured, documented, skinned, and preserved.  Paul uses only the highest quality products and tools.  Each mount is custom painted and detailed for the most realistic representation based on the documented photos.
