skin mounts are $10 per inch with a $125 minimum for freash water fish and $20 with a $200 minimum for a salt water fish if I do the skin mount on it and replicas are the actual cost of replica and supplies plus $150, and probably going to gu up slightly somewhere around the middle of the year. I usually do approximately 50 skin mounts and maybe 10 replicas.

Well I will get some flack over this: but I charge $8.00 per in. with a $150 min. on warmwater fish and $10 per in. with $150 min. on trout and salmon. Haven't done any reproduction yet not sure what I will charge for those. Probably $8 per in. plus cost of blank. I will probably go up in price before years end.
I did 11 fish last year. Off to a good start this year already got 4 in to do.

I've been doing fish for 24 years. I charge $15.00 per inch for reproductions and panfish. $13.00 per inch for bass, trout and salmon, and walleye, and $11.00 per inch for musky and northerns.
I do some wholesale work to0 and charge $9.00 per inch for that. It's a pay cut but it keeps me busy.
I do about 150 fish a year not counting wholesale.

I charge $15 an inch to $20 an inch depending on what the customer wants. Two sided fish are more and I take that on a case by case basis.
$200 minimum
a dozen or so a year. I survive off of replica blanks and custom molding alongside other more conventional artwork, drawing painting Sculpture and graphic design.
