Fish and Deer Mounts for the Lake Geneva Area
Forty-five minutes east on Highway 50. Geneva Lake lake trout and walleye, Kettle Moraine whitetails, and reproductions of the fish you let go.
Geneva Lake is deep, clear, and full of fish worth mounting: lake trout, brown trout, walleye, smallmouth and largemouth bass, northern pike, and cisco. Lake Geneva anglers and the summer crowd bring those fish to Craig's shop in Kenosha, often as reproductions from a photo and a measurement so the fish could go back in the lake.
The Kettle Moraine State Forest Southern Unit sits just north of Lake Geneva with over 22,000 acres, most of it open to hunting. Walworth County whitetails from the Kettle and the surrounding farmland come in as shoulder mounts, pedestals, and European skulls.
Highway 50 runs straight from Lake Geneva to Kenosha. Customers from Lake Geneva, Elkhorn, Williams Bay, and Fontana make the drive for the same reason everyone else does: one experienced craftsman on every mount.

Lake Geneva Questions
Yes. A reproduction is a painted cast of a fish the same species and size as yours. Bring the length, girth, and a good photo and Craig matches the color.
Turnaround depends on the season and the shop's queue. You get a completion month at drop-off and a call when it is ready.
Bring your license and the harvest tag or registration confirmation for the animal. You sign at drop-off confirming it was legally taken. Migratory birds and some furbearers need extra federal or state paperwork.
Every mount is quoted after Craig inspects the animal, since hide condition and size change the work. A 50% deposit holds your spot. Cash or check only. The balance is due at pickup.
