Hugh is up there with the best of them. A very honest interview with quite possibly one the greatest angling film makers that has ever lived. A true genius that can never bettered nor replaced! Keep up the great work Hugh :-)

A passion for angling makes me feel 10 years old again..goosebumps and hairs on arms standing on end everyone I hear that music..just magical

[@WaterBlogUK]

A passion for Angling has helped shape generations of specimen hunters. A true timeless classic.

I remember watching Passion for Angling when it first aired. As a boy catching gudgeon and bullheads from my local river (now co-opted by a so-called 'conservation' group who have prohibited all fishing and allowed it to fall into utter ruin) that series lit a fire in me which still hasn't gone out almost 30 years later. It defines everything I love and aspire to in angling. Thank you, Mr Miles. You created something truly magical.

There will never be a better serie that reflects the love of nature and just being on the waterside

The best fishing ever shown on TV.

I’ve just watched Toms River again. It’s such a good record of the year and everything subtle that can be noticed if you open your eyes, what a pleasure it is to be by the Avon and watch the marvellous monsters there in.
