Usually nothing less than an hour and rarely more than 2.5 for a day trip.

Five lakes within 1 - 1 1/2 hr drive
My regular/favorite lake is about 85 miles from my house. Have to drive straight through downtown OKC takes about an hour 45.
Don't worry Ma'am....
I'm only here for the Bass.
The four lakes I fish regularly are all within 45 minutes. I will drive as far as 2 hours a few times a year for a day trip, the older I get the less appealing that 2 hour drive home is for sure.
I drive about 3 miles to the boat ramp. Never really travel farther than that

About 45 mins...to Lake St. Clair, Western Basin of Lake Erie, Detroit River, and a whole lot of lakes in between.

2-3 hours. Upper bay on Chesapeake or Potomac river are within that travel time. In PA, there are very few unlimited HP lakes, so I will travel.
Living on the coast majority of my life, I've normally traveled anywhere from 1.5hrs to 3 hrs. The few times I traveled 2-3 hrs I stayed the night.
Both of my local home lakes are about a 40 minute ride to the launch. I've done 2 hours solo drives to fish all day from daylight to dark several times. 2.5 hours to fish all with a buddy a couple times. Nowadays, I would just fish the local lakes rather than drive a couple hours.

100+ mile round trips every Saturday and Sunday sometimes farther.
1-2hrs tops. There's well over 10 lakes within that driving distance that has great fishing. Even more if I want to hand launch a Jon boat. It's about the only thing new your has going for it
I have Ohio River access 11 miles from my house and a small lake about the same distance in the opposite direction.. I'm not against going up to 2 hrs away though a few times a year.
Just did a 6 hour round trip for tournament.

Most places I fish are an hour, to an hour and a half. I think I am pretty lucky, in the fact that I have 8 or 9 lakes / bodies of water within that area.

I drove 33 miles today, but the Ohio River is 3 miles away.
1.5-2 hours each way.. I can be on the Ohio River in 15minutes but i'd rather make the drive to one of the lakes, especially Presque Isle!
2 hrs each way...every weekend june to sept...
Live a quarter mile from lake st. clair, 10 minutes to the ramp. 1 hour to lake huron or lake erie.
