"The Ultimate Guide To Fly Fishing Cape Streams ~ With Sean Mills" dvd
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 Huguenot 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 international 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!

My wife bought me two of your DVD's ("The Ultimate Guide to Fly Fishing Cape Streams" and "Saltwater Fly Fishing - The Western Cape") as a Christmas present and as a preparation for our next trip to Cape Town. I must say that I really like your movies and that I can´t wait for some Flyfishing in beautiful South Africa.

Having recently purchased Sean Mills' DVD "The Ulitmate Guide To Fly Fishing For Carp", I went to a small local pond in Evander, named the "Brandweer or Brandewyn Dam". Having tied up some of the flies Sean had shown on his DVD, I had to try some of his tips and tricks. After quite a while of looking for bubbles and pointless casts, I realized that I wasn't reaching bottom with the fly, so on goes a little snap on sinker, probably 1.2 gr or so, I adjusted my strike indicator down my leader of about 10'. All of a sudden a saw bubbles that looked like something was boiling the water and this pond is known for it's big fish over 10kg, so I cast into the bubbles and my strike indicator went into the water about half a foot, it stood still for a few seconds and then it dipped down. I picked up my rod and BAM!!!! FISH ON!!!! Ran me just a few metres short of my backing when I turned it and struggled for a few minutes to land this beast, an amazing 11.29kg carp. With burning arms I got it onto land and realized I left my camera in the car, so I ran back and took this great picture and my day was just made!
Ah the DVD is outstanding!!! Thanx to Sean's Flies and super DVD.
