This homemade costume for women entered our 2012 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Kristina, the 'Maine Brook Trout' costume creator:

I work at Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, and about a year ago I said to my artistic co-worker, "Wouldn't it be cool to have a Brook Trout costume?" He agreed that it would and so we went to work. He did all the work! We started with a mattress pad so that it would appear to be somewhat scaly, like a fish. He then spray painted, airbrushed and finger painted the designs of the Brook Trout. Added some fins, a zipper and a hole for my head and it's been a huge hit!!

It's beautiful! Would it be possible to borrow or rent this? A good friend of mine is a retiring biologist who has fought to protect and rehabilitate brook trout habitat and restore populations in northern Ontario with the Ministry of Natural Resources. They are holding a costume retirement party for him the day after Halloween. I would like to honour him by dressing as a brook trout so I can thank him from the fish. Please let me know if this might be possible!

I am the owner of this costume. I would consider renting it out, but I would have to charge a rental fee, plus you would have to pay for all shipping charges, shipping one way is around $60. Please e-mail me at kristinarae82[at]gmail.com to have a rental discussion.

Costume not for sale, but can be rented. Please contact me at kristinarae8(at)gmail.com to discuss future rental options.

However, it is already being rented for the 2015 season.
