5.0 out of 5 stars Childhood Memories, 10 Feb 2004

By	"wwwzebrapool2" - See all my reviews

Im 17 years of age and this programme started me fishing its as simple as that before i even lifted a rod i was dreaming of catching that monster brownie!

Bob James and Chris Yates are two great anglers and amazing writers they both really are true ambassadors for the sport for every angler

CHRIS YATES - Prefers to fish with antique tackle with a tweed jacket and Sherlock Holmes type hat hes a real old time angler

BOB JAMES - Uses ultra modern tackle and tecniques to his full advantage Bob also clearly loves his sport.

During this whole experience you really get a feeling of calm and relaxation this is mostly due to Benerd Cribbins lending his voice to narrate the programme which really creates a beautiful effect.

weather fly is your thing ( and it is mine ) or course it doesnt matter its all relative because the breathtaking camera work and music catches you straight away the poems by Walton , Cotton or Benerd Venables who also quest stars in one eposode.

I cant tell you how much i love this show it defies explanation quite simply the only fishing programme i will be watching in thirty years guranteed nothing has or can ever touch it.

5.0 out of 5 stars "A Passion For Angling" (and Quality), 19 Nov 2003

By	Jason Spencer (Essex, England) - See all my reviews

I can remember reading many years ago in the angling press about this project. It was destined to be a masterpiece of angling video and did not dissapoint. Although not aimed as an instructional piece you cannot help but gain some useful insight into the the pursuit of carp from two of the country's most respected anglers (Chris yates & Bob James). There enthusiasm, respect and borderline eccentricity regarding their pursuit comes across clearly throughout the entire production. A totally fitting, tranquil soundtrack combined with the narration of Bernard Cribbins makes this unmissable. I should also add that the filming is of the ultimate quality, filmed by Hugh Miles of "Flight of the Condor" fame.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply The Best, 15 Nov 2003

By	Mr C. D. Beard (Elgin, Moray United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This video is quite simply the best angling production ever whether you are a fisher(person) or not, it is total quality.

Chris Yates and Bob James exude so much childish enthusiasm for their fishing adventures its impossible not to be drawn into their magical world.
Another aspect that I feel needs to be highlighted is the total respect Chris Yates & Bob James show for their quarry and the countryside. Too often the presenters of angling videos try to be "the stars", not so with "A Passion For Angling", the fish in this video deservedly take center stage.
The camera work and editing is excellent, almost making the viewer believe they are on the bank alongside our intrepid adventurers. You can almost feel the fresh air.
The background music compliments the viewing perfectly, soothing and gently caressing the audience through the scenes.
Bernard Cribbins narration is the icing on the cake both witty and informative yet never intrusive.

I have been angling for 30 years and have during that time I provided technical assistance for and even helped to produce videos on angling and I can say, hand on heart that A Passion For Angling is the standard by which all other videos will be judged.

By the way - I am not connected in any way with the makers of this video, this is a purely personal opinion.
