To travel 1.5 hrs to get your fish is not long unless you don't want fish very badly. It is not uncommon to travel 3-4 hrs one way to get high quality stocker fish. Be creative and take your roommate along buy lunch, get fish, and go home. Quality time together. Go again to get the sport fish after the forage has reproduced for several months or 1 yr and pond is full.
