How far do you guys drive to get to a lake ? I've done about an hour an a half one way. I've heard of people doing 2 and a half to 3 hour one way. Or do you like staying local as such

I fish fairly local 30mins away sometimes but most of the lakes I fish are 2/3 hours away each way, just depends where you want to go to fish

I'm lucky that my club lake is 20 min drive one way. But have looked at other clubs to join but hour and half or so away.

I travel from Rochdale to my club waters in Allostock and Sandbach 40-50 miles one way to do a maximum 36/48 hour session.

100 miles each way which takes 1hr 40 to get there leaving home at 4am and anything up to 3 hours (last week) to get home depending on the M40 & M25

A mate of mine used to travel 2 1/2 hours one way, then back home, after work twice a week to bait up a swim before his 3rd trip back that week to fish it.

I used to travel 80 miles each way to fish a day only water. The drive there was fine at 3 or 4 am, the drive back not so enjoyable.
Are you sure?
