Flyfishing report: Saltwater - West Cape

General.

This last month has generally been like the previous month, rather stick to fly tying than venture out on the water. As you know we have had tremendous rains, high winds with very few people out fishing the estuaries and river mouths. Even the rock and surf anglers have preferred to stay at home. The Breede, Hermanus lagoon and Bot River lagoons are flowing out strongly on the low tide and the De Mond estuary and surrounds are once again flooded and dirty.

However, the last couple of days have been perfect with blue skies and little wind. As we move towards mid-September conditions can only improve.
