Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
I get to the Au Sable in about 14 hours, driving the speed limit. I'm surprised to hear that your trek is so much longer. Do you go thru/around Chicago?Holy schmazoly! I'd say so!!

P.S. Most of my local fave's I can get to in 2 hours of less, depending on traffic.
P.P.S. Fortunately I can get to some great memories right behind my eyelids...

Favorites:
east slope Shenandoah NP 1:45, then hike in.
Shenandoah Valley limestone spring creeks 2 hours.
Oregon, all day in a plane.
Yellowstone NP, all day in a plane plus a few hours driving.
New Zealand - a long, long day in a plane. Well worth it.
I probably do 90% or more of my fishing at these three favorite places:
local bluegill pond at a city park - 20 minutes
(summer) Oak Creek for rainbows and browns - 2.5 hours
(winter) Lower Salt River for rainbows - 1 hour
Then at least once a year to my all time favorite place:
great uncle-in-law's pond - all day on a plane to Goodfield, IL via PIA, then 10 minutes from grandparents-in-law's house to the pond
