DVD Review - The Ultimate Guide to Fly Fishing Cape Streams


I am planning a trip to the Western Cape in the near future, and as it will be my first time in that area I decided to gather as much information as possible on tackle, techniques and obviously places to go to on my "Smallstream Safari"...
Hence, I decided to order a DVD from Sean Mills with the title: "The Ultimate Guide to Fly Fishing Cape Streams".
It is an informative film, that concentrates on the Smallblaar, Holsloot, Elandspad and the Molenaar's rivers near Cape Town. Sean shows you in detail how to catch more and larger trout on the crystal clear mountain streams of the Western Cape. It includes underwater footage and extreme close-ups. Also covered in this DVD is: where to fish, tackle, special casts, locating fish, sight fishing, flies, tying leaders and how to spot and stalk wild trout.
Sean also explains how the rivers are managed and how to book a beat with the Cape Piscatorial Society. How to fish with dry flies, nymphs and soft hackle flies, streamers and combining various flies are also demonstrated in detail. In addition, he looks at reading water, how to fish pocket water, runs, glides, targeting larger fish and where to look for them.
He also identifies major stream hatches using extreme close-up footage of caddis, mayflies, midges and stoneflies.hows you in detail howo catch more and larger 
After watching this DVD, I have a better idea of fly selection as well as the techniques required to be successful on Cape Streams.
