In the early 90's Mark Draper, son of the famous outdoors man and author 'Keith Draper' decided to turn his passion into his career and became a very successful trout guide based out of Opotiki in the Eastern Bay of Plenty. Much of his work revolved around multi-day guided trips, fly fishing for both fresh and saltwater species. Mark has written at one time or another for almost all NZ outdoors magazines and is a regular contributor to NZ Fishing News.
