Video Reviews
The Ultimate Guide To Fly Fishing
Cape Streams ~ With Sean Mills
Sean
Mills has excelled by delivering one of the best stream fishing videos
I have seen. The narrative is clear and concise with the “how to” tips and tricks
neatly interlaced with practical demonstrations. The viewer is gently guided through each technique
which is clearly explained and
is endorsed with on stream demonstrations.
The video also highlights the breathtaking beauty of the mountains
without it becoming a travelogue. The film is well balanced and evenly
paced, enabling the viewer to keep in touch and in synch with events.
Sean delivers in spades,
a world class production, and it’s doubtful if
a superior film will be made of this particular subject. There is
a delightful
“race” along the N1 and through the Hugenot Tunnel included in the
footage,
which is becoming I should imagine, a sort of hallmark of Sean’s fishing films, as
there is a similar one in the equally good “Salt water fly fishing in
the Western Cape”. This video is every bit as
good and in reality stands head and
shoulders above lots and lots of nternational movies and is a “must
see” for everyone,
expert
and beginner alike, who ventures into the “Kloofs”. My only
regret is
that it was not available when I was a tyro angler fishing
those selfsame streams all of 50 plus years
ago!

“The Ultimate Guide to Fly Fishing Cape Streams” is a DVD by fly fishing
legend, Sean Mills. I purchased a copy of the DVD a couple weeks back
and it arrived yesterday to my excitement. I quickly put it into the player
and
thoroughly enjoyed 90 minutes of fly fishing action, bundled with hundreds of
tips and tricks! In this DVD, Sean Mills,
shows you in detail how to catch more and bigger
trout on the crystal clear Cape mountain streams of the
Western Cape, South
Africa. Sean films the DVD
in his unique, hands on style with underwater shots and extreme close ups, it really
is a
treat. Sean goes on to explain
where to fish, what tackle to use, how
to
perform special casts, how to locate fish and also goes into sighting
trout,
looking at various flies and how to tie your leaders. A bonus is that he explains
how the rivers are managed and how to go about
getting a membership from the Cape Piscatorial Society, as well as how
you book
a beat. All in all it’s a fantastic DVD, well worth purchasing!
