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.
