I am just curious, and would like to know from other fishermen the distance to their favorite home lakes for fishing. I am about 55 minutes from my nearest lake. <br /><br />Thanks for the survey.<br /><br />Glen

Re: Local Lakes

It's about 4-1/2 hours from Tucson to the nearest lake. What a pain - I'm going to relocate to Florida!

Re: Local Lakes

I'm 5 minutes from the closest lake, 15 minutes from 4 other lakes. My favorite lake right now is probably about 2.5 hrs away. I might go there once more this fall, but that'll be it. :(

Re: Local Lakes

Two lakes less than 1 mile. The Mississippi a little farther than that.

3 lakes within 30 to 45 minutes, a dozen or more within 100 miles. So much water, so little time!

About 4 miles to the river boat launch and about 45 minutes of nasty bumpy washboard roads to the stillwater reservoir. Holy crap, I haven't been fishing since the third weekend in june.

Re: Local Lakes

I'm about 17 bucks in gas away from my favorite haunt... Sardis Lake. Tunica and the mighty Mississippi are a good twenty bucks.
