Competition fly fishing is about reading water correctly, good fly choice, proper fly presentation, fast fish fighting, and so much more.

In the video below Nick van Rensburg and Matt Gorlei of Flybru, both with experience in international competition fly fishing (FIPS), take us through how they approach different pieces of trout water on the Cape streams of Cape Town, South Africa.

In this video they explain in their own way:

• How to cover pocket water
• Fishing a typical run
• Fishing a stream left to right
• Euro-nymping
• Fishing a bubble line
• How to take a bos-kak
• How to approach catching a rising trout
