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.

About 25-30 miles to Holiday Marina from my house.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!

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. I guess the farthest know travel to the fish pond is from Green Bay to Caddo Mills 1,135.4 mi, Ty Montgomery can about 1 month ago.

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.
