The price of this trip includes the cleaning of the catfish only from our first night of fishing from our guides.
If you plan to have any taxidermy done from your harvests - our outfitter can recommend a taxidermist for you. If you prefer to have your own taxidermist handle your mounts, plan to bring a measuring tape to take size measurements from your catch to pass along to your taxidermist, or bring a cooler to take your harvest with you. If you do not plan to have any taxidermy done, plan to bring a cooler to hold your meat - as well as ice packs.
