  • Provenance:
    Keith Draper Collection
  • Notes:
    Keith Draper was a respected and world-renowned fisherman and wildfowler, who fished and shot throughout N.Z. Born in Hastings in 1932, he fished Hawkes Bay rivers and moved to Taupo in his early years. He turned his fly tying hobby into a hugely successful retail and wholesale business supplying thousands of flies to N.Z. and the world from Draper's Tackle House, Taupo. He was also a sporting guide. He wrote many books on the subject of flies and fishing, the most famous being the 1971 'Trout Flies in N.Z.' which sold over 20,000 copies. He was also a competent artist and illustrated most of his own books. Our vendor was fortunate to meet Keith in his later years and to be given the opportunity to purchase his fishing collection.
