How far is it to the lake that you fish most often?

Mine is 75 miles one way, but almost every lake I fish is 65 to 75 miles away.

113 miles one way. Like ChuChu, most all bodies of water I fish on are miles away.


Be safe,

20 minutes to Ray Hubbard, 1.5 hours to Fork, Athens, Monticello, Bob Sandlin... I live in East Dallas, I am within 2 hours of over 10 great fishing lakes total, and 3.5 to Rayburn or Toledo Bend.

2 days to get to Lake Oviachic. Then 6 days of fishing. Hate to leave; so the 2 days back is a killer.

At Texas Fishing in Caddo Mills Texas people drive from all over Texas,Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas.

Before I purchased a lake house at Tawakoni, my average drive would be around 2 hrs and under which is about 92 miles. Now I stayed at the lake house on the weekend and the lake is right on my backyard about 50 steps. I am blessed to have a wife that loves fishing.
