Hi George,
I had nearly the same experience the week before Christmas. Manage to catch 1 during 4 days at the Fynbos Retreeat near Stanford. I did a bit of reading before, got the right flies etc. The Red Setter was the successful fly. Intersestingly, what I found that they like to stay beneath the lillies and also in this case in the same area of the dam. I used a SmartCast fishfinder and found them in the same spot on all four days. According to Sean Mills, a continuous short pull retrieve works best. Contact the the guys at StreamX, as they gave the best advice. There is also a nice article on Kurpers in the FLYFISHING Magazine of February/March 2009, Vol 22 No.11. I am sure you can get one from the publishers.
All the best
Stephan Nortje
