Douglas R. Greer is an avid fly-fisherman who collected many prints on fly-fishing. He had a passion for documenting and saving the manufacturing sector, the natural environment and fly-fishing. He moved to Brampton to become a master tool maker at Lustro Steel Products and later retired in 1989 and returned to Port Hope. Douglas donated his collection of 10 fly-fishing prints to the Municipality of Port Hope in 2014. The Municipality of Port Hope transferred them to the Port Hope Archives in 2015.
