Trophy Trout
Intro: Trophy Trout
Beautiful Rainbow Trout for your man-cave wall.
STEP 1: Cut Out Your Fish
I found a clip art trout on the internet and printed it out as close to the size as I could get. Then traced it onto scrap plywood I had lying around.
The furniture sign was a cheap auction purchase that I almost burned two weeks before I got this idea. Hey, you can’t keep everything.

STEP 2: Paint Your Fish With a Sealing Paint.
Again. Leftover paints used. I also sanded off the words that would not be covered by the trout.
STEP 3: Draw in Your Details.
I sprayed some paint over the image to give me an idea off the finished piece and added detail marks
STEP 4: More Paint.
I had an olive green and ceiling paint and a few small bottles of acrylic art paints. I just started mixing and painting.
STEP 5: Completed Painting. Glue and Screw.
Add in your trout spots and shadows last.
Wood glue and 4 screws later. At this point I used a clear sealer from a spray can that was leftover from other projects.

STEP 6: All Done.
I left the eye for last. The face of the fish was the toughest part.
