It seams to be alot of people in the same boat as me I wished I lived on a lake.I hate having to drive 45 mins to fish.You guys that live on the water are very lucky.

im 10 minutes from Big Creek, Sailorville and the Des Moines river. an hour from Rathbun and Red Rock. all in central Iowa.

I am lucky. I can launch at three different Lakes in 15 minutes. Another lake is 20 minutes. Drive 30-50 more minutes to three other big lakes. these are all good fisheries on rivers. 100' depths on some of them. That makes 7 lakes just over an hour or less from my home. When I thought about this it makes me realize I live in a great place for a crappie fisherman.

sounds like most of you are pretty lucky.the nearest good lake is 1.5 hrs and the the lakes i like to fish are all at least 2.5 hrsfrom here.there is a small lake about 20 min from my house but it is overrun with jetskis and overstocked with striper which ruins it for crappie fishin.

Hey there westtx, I grew up in Lubbock, went to Frenship High (1983). Anyway, the last time I was there Alan Henry didn't even exist. Did some catfishing at Buffalo, that's about it. But I bet the way I crappie fish here in Arkansas in deep, clear water over and in brushpiles would work great on Alan Henry's offshoots and deep ledges. That's what I imagine it to be since they just flooded a canyon. Keep in touch and if I ever get crazy enough to return to the desert, let's go fishing.

Lots of lakes, but none of them very close. I can be on the Mississippi in about 10 minutes from my office. I can be on the water at Mark Twain in about 2 hours. I can be at the lake (Lake of the Ozarks to those outside MO.) in about two and a half hours, at Carlyle in an hour, Rend Lake in about two and a half hours, Kinkaid in two hours, and the Missouri River, well lets not worry about it!:D

About 10 minutes to Kentucky Lake for me.

[PIGINTHEPIGPEN]

I can be at 3 different lakes within a half hour. Lake Mattoon, Lake Paradise and my main one, Lake Shelbyville. About six lakes within an hour. Newton, Mill Creek, Lake Sara.

I fish 6-8 different lakes or rivers regular around the house. The closest is 40 minutes and the furthest is around 2 hours. There are 4 or 5 others that I go to about once a year within 1 1/2hours.
