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 can't seem ta find the sweet taste of the stream
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.

Anywhere from 3 miles to 50 miles.
The Green Hornet strikes again!!!
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.

My decent trout fishing begins about 1hr away. Some marginal warm water fishing can be had 20minutes away.
On average, anywhere from two minutes to two hours for warmwater fishing and all of it pretty decent. For trout I drive most of a day to get to my favorite places, but I'm usually there for a week so it's worth it.
If it swims and eats, it'll eat a fly.
Oh you folks make me want to move! It is six hours to GSMNP in Tennessee and 7 or 8 hours to Rifle River or the AuSable. We have a few trout in the Brookville Tailwater about two hours away and the Little Elkhart River about three hours away. Warm water fishing is available but, in Indiana the landowners have the access rights so it is difficult to find streams to fish and near impossible to find streams with trout. Or, I need some help finding good places in Indiana because I'm fairly new to fly fishing.
When we moved back to Missouri from Wyoming, (still not sure of the intelligence of that move), I chose the Rolla, Missouri area based partly upon that very thing. That, the hunting is good, (out my back door, literally), and it's close to where I grew up, my aging Father and in-laws. I can be on good warm water in 7 minutes. Several good trout waters are within 1/2 hour and if you care to count the parks, which I don't, one is 20 minutes away and two others are within an hour. With our fine church family, a fairly stable economy and the hunting and fishing life is good!
