How Far Do You Travel To Fish

[Greg Hunsicker]

Warm Water: Usualy it's a couple miles(lousy fishing) but sometimes 15 to 20 for better waters.

Good trout waters are three to four hours away.

Greg the closest lake being worthy of Bass is about 3 hrs away but if i want to catch River born Striper is 12 hours and well worth the trip

I have four excellent trout rives between 15 minutes and 1 hour away. Bass/warm water ponds 15 minutes away and a Bass/warm water river 5 minutes. I'll travel several hours to fish the salt and that's about it. But whenever I travel I try to fish from New Foundland to Mexico. That is different from traveling for fish, that's fishing while travelling. My wife does not fish, but any time we vacation fishing does enter into the equation.
Fortunately, where there are fish there are birds and the natural world which is what she likes to see.

I am fortunate to live on a 50 acre lake that has a very healthy population of nice bass and bream and very little fishing pressure. I just wheel my kayak down to the water and hop in. If I want a change of scenary, there is a wildlife management area about 35 minutes from my house that has 23 lakes that vary in size from 3 acreas to 110 acreas and they are all good fishing. If I want to chase trout I can get to decent river fishing in an hour or travel another 45 minutes to the mountains for a very nice selection of smaller stream and ponds. Saltwater requires a bit more travel, around 4-5 hours drive to the coast for redfish etc. All-in-all, Georgia offers very good fishing without too much travel.

While there are both trout & warm water within a few miles of K Falls I usually travel from 50 to 150 miles one way to fish.
