Contact Graeme Field from Liquid Horizon (website of same name). He is definitely also worth contacting.

Never tried it Trevor to be honest,the streams take up any spare time i have, must say it has been something i wanted to give a bash maybe next season, but first need to make sure i save a few pennies for the gear.

I will have a look when the Seabass season opens again, we normally go to Portsmith we know a South African guy that runs a charter down there

Is it worth looking into Hermanus or Bot River? Check if Louis Day is still around and giving advice.

Nothing happening in Hermanus - except sharks with surf tackle off the beach. The lagoon seems pretty dead (End of December)
I did hear a report of a couple of Garrick from Bot River Lagoon, but cannot confirm it.
If it's esturies you're looking for, the Breede is certainly the best in the area.
Philip posted that he'd caught three Leeries at Blakes beach (Strand area) the other day.

Contact details
Howzit, welcome to the forum. Upstream Flyfishing in Wynberg, Cape Town and Stream X are two good places to ask for advice, should you not come right on the forum.
Hope you come right. PS - should you not be able to travel, Zandvlei is also an option (but I gather your pounds will take you places).
Just google the contacts.
Regards and tight lines
