My girlfriend's pond is my primary locale. It takes about 6 minutes to get to her house. The Tennessee River is my secondary option. It takes about 8 minutes at most. I'm lucky haha.

Same here, 30-45 mins to a good lake. 41/2 hours to Vt and gods country.[

I have several ponds ( Eight ) within a mile of my apt and usually put my tackle box and rods into a backpack and then mountain bike to those ponds within a 5 to 10 minute bike ride.
For my cat fishing river spot its about 3 miles away and a 5 minute drive in the truck.

if its 5 hours or less, its no biggy, if its 8 hours or less, i get up at mid night.... if its 8 hours or more, its a fishing trip.

Last year was 16 hours one way.. I only got to go fishing once in Canada.. I'm hoping to cut that down some this year by fishing more often closer to home..
But here we are the 1st of may around the corner and I still don't have any wet line

20 Minutes to salt water inlets.
30 Minutes to the Atlantic Ocean
10 Minutes Up, to fresh water ponds, lakes and rivers.
Hunting locations are the same.
I love living in PARADISE!!!

I live Just inbetween shelly and idaho falls. so i have atleast a dozen places to fish in under a half hour. none are stocked ponds. the only one that is, is the kids pond and well i'm a little to old. but under there is amazin for big browns. alot of it is on the snake river. but year there is quite a few
[signature]
it sounds to me like alot of people are choseing to fish places that are close to home..i wonder wether its the economy ..the convienence..or both???i havnt forgot about the guys who dont mind the drive..sometimes its worth it
[signature]
Five to ten minutes, depending on where I go.

I can be to one of my all time best spots. for numbers and size. in just a couple of mins. like i said i'm only three miles from gem lake dam. and fishin in the channel can be amazin. there has been days where i just go and slaughter rainbows. all day long. and then other days the pickins are a lot slimmer but your are catchin 2-5 pound browns on the average. the biggest fish other then stealhead that i have seen caught was there. and it was caught by chromejunky. it was a 15 pound brown. it was HUGE. when it was laid in the sink both head and tail stuck up out of it at least 6 inches on each side. so i go there cause i stand a chance at catchin a trophy fish. and it happens to be extremely close. LUCKY ME. [laugh][sly] and so yeah thats why i go there...

Well I live within a mile or so of the Kentucky River and am also by two very large creeks that are barely short of being a river themselves. There is water everywhere around here though and I haven't even fished all the places in this area.
I'm thinking of going tonight and trying out some new lures I bought today.
Crappie beware!!!

sounds like a second home..

I'm a single guy and I actually spend more time fishing then I do at home. That may be why I am single? lol
[signature]
im married with children...and very jelius..take my advice practice catch and release..its a good policy..
[signature]
I would say it would be around 30 minutes
[signature]
I would say 45 to an hour. I have some favorites around 30 min away and others an hour or more away. The Boise river is only 5 minutes away but I haven't fished that for a while.

The cool thing about my location is i have over 20 places to fish within a half hour drive. Everything from planter trout to tiger muskies and everything in between.[
