dear forum members , this is my first visit to this site and i must say its brilliant , so much imformative info on so many subjects . as well as being obsessed with fishing i also love to collect old fishing tackle ,which leads me onto my search for a cased fish or mounted cast fish to take pride of place in my study/ fishing den . would be most pleased to hear from any of you of whom might just possibly have such a thing for sale . many thanks , frostyfish .

Hi frostyfish & welcome along, Apart from ebay & of course all the usual s/h dealers that also frequent the auction & antique fairs scene, there used to be several people dealing with cased fish in Exchange & Mart. I haven't bought a copy for some time, but it might be worth a look the next time you go to a newsagents.

Best of luck

John

Cased fish are one of the things that have went through the roof in the last 10 years or so. A good one will command a high price so you will be very lucky to find what you want without paying top dollar, still one never knows what comes up. No disrespect to you but I could never understand why someone would want to buy someone else's caught fish an old rod or reel yes I can see the point it that but a fish....no. Still good luck, auctions would be your best bet but fill that wallet.

If it's just a cased fish, not an antique or old one, try Chris Elliott
http://www.taxidermist.uk.com/ he sometimes has fish that are not collected. Of course he may have some old ones as well?
