Join Actress Jane Seymour in Experiencing National Fishing and Boating Week

Jane Seymour, known to millions as 'Dr Quinn,' has a prescription for your family: Go Fishing and Boating! Seymour is the Honorary Chairperson for National Fishing and Boating Week, June 3-11 and she is inviting Americans to attend one of the many fishing and boating events taking place during the week.  Now in its sixth year, National Fishing and Boating Week celebrates America's love of the water with thousands of organized fishing and boating events across the country.

National Fishing and Boating Week is sponsored by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation(RBFF). 'I am very excited to help RBFF,' said Seymour. 'I really believe that fishing is an excellent way for families to spend time together.' Click here for a fishing resort.

Seymour's interest in fishing began with her marriage to director/producer James Keach. An avid angler, Keach encouraged Seymour to learn to fish so the two would be able to enjoy fishing together. Since that time, fishing has been a favorite activity for Seymour, Keach and their twin boys, John and Kristopher.  

If you haven't fished in a while, this is the perfect time to toss out a line. During National Fishing and Boating Week, Big Bear Lake offers free fishing days when licenses are not required. Click here for info. 

Fishing and boating businesses, state and federal natural resource agencies, conservation groups and schools have united to make this event a fun week for all. There's everything from fishing events, contests and boating demonstrations to promotions lodging and activities to help people learn more about fishing and boating.  To find lodging near you, click on this link http://www.bigbearlodging.net/
