    Well, it depends on which fishing spot...

    From my home to:

    Box Canyon of Henry's Fork - 1-hour
    Vernon Bridge stretch of Henry's Fork - 40-minutes
    Chester Dam stretch of Henry's Fork - 25-minutes
    Henry's Lake - 1-hour, 15-minutes
    South Fork of Snake - anywhere from 5-minutes to 45-minutes
    Big Lost River - 1-hour, 40-minutes
    Burch Creek - 1-hour
    Kelly's No-Tellum Spring Creek - 50-minutes

    Man, am I spoiled!

    Kelly.
    Tight Lines,

    Kelly.

    Trouts don't live in ugly places.

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

    Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some person ever reads.

    There's a trout brook right across the street from the house, plus a few others in the area. The streams I fished this week were 15 and 25 minutes away.
    There's 22 fishable warmwater ponds right here in town and salt water fishing is about an hour away
    The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.

    The closest is about 6 blocks from home.
    My favorite is 117 miles.
    Where you go is less important than how you take the steps.

    I'd say! Good on you!

    When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.

    While I'm 10-30 minutes from Clear Creek (depending on location), and 45 from Deckers on the S. Platte, I prefer to fish the Colorado which is just under 2 hours.
