International TV and movie star, Jane Seymour never 
imagined she would become an avid angler.

I never thought I'd ever be holding a fishing pole. But we 
used to go on these summer holidays, and somehow we always 
ended up on the end of a key or pier or somewhere, and we'd 
catch these little minnows and things. And I became obsessed 
with catching fish. Then later in life when I was introduced 
to fly-fishing, I got hooked - literally. :17

Since then, Seymour taken fishing vacations with her 
family all over the world. She's quick to point out that you 
don't need a lot of money, or an exotic locale, to have an 
incredible angling experience with your family.

When I was little, you know, we didn't have a penny to 
our name. And, you know, I just remember just a very 
simple fishing pole with a wonderful little bright bobbin 
thing bobbing on the top of the water. And all of a sudden 
-- enormous excitement. You know, when it didn't matter how 
large or small the fish was, that thing disappeared 
underneath ... The thrill as a child of just pulling out 
this wiggling fish was just amazing. :21
