New Sean Mills DVD's

I recently had the opportunity to have a sneak preview at two of Sean Mills' new DVD's. The first one is "Fly Fishing for Bass and Bluegill in South Africa"


This new DVD take a different format that Sean's previous DVD's as this one is in a HTML format and is interactive. It opens in your browser and you browse through it just like you would on a web page.


In the DVD Sean covers all aspects of fishing for Bass and Bluegill in South Africa from when to fish, where to fish, the various techniques used, flies,correct knots to use right through to identifying the different species of bass.





 There is a good section on fly tying step by step patterns and some awsome pictures of bass and bluegill.

Sean has some great underwater shots of bass




If ever there was anything that you needed to know about fishing for bass and bluegill in South Africa then you don't need to look any further than this DVD.

Fly Fishing for Bass and Bluegill in South Africa will be available soon through Sean' site SGM PRODUCTIONS, my Bid or Buy shop or Fly shops near you.

The second DVD is "An advanced guide to fly fishing Cape Streams"


This DVD takes the same format as the previous bass and Bluegill DVD, with the added bonus of having some great video clips thrown in.

The section about Trout Food has some awesome macro pictures about all the life stages of the various insects that you will find on the  Cape streams and you will even find some underwater video footage of the insects.







Once again Sean covers all aspects of fishing the Cape Streams, from  the correct clothing and tackle needed, insects that can be found and imitated right down to the correct knots to use.

The DVD is extremely well laid out. While reading about soft hackle flies for example  you can click on a tab that will take you to a movie showing you how to fish them or another on how to tie them.

Sean covers all aspects of Cape stream fishing and teaches you how to fish and tie all the various flies from Nymphs, streamers, dry flies to Soft hackles. In the process you will find out what the real insects look like and how to imitate them.  You will find out when the seasons are, how to fish the different water levels during the season, the anatomy of the streams, how to get to the streams and much much more.

Learn where and how to fish a run


 As usual Sean's underwater pictures are brilliant and I can recommend this DVD to anyone that wants to learn more about fly fishing the Cape streams whether you are a novice or an expert.

An advanced guide to fly fishing Cape Streams will be available soon through Sean' site SGM PRODUCTIONS, my Bid or Buy shop or Fly shops near you.
