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.
I agree with Bill. Make it an adventure. Overton's was about a 1.5 hour one way for us. On the way up we stopped in Fairfield at a place called Sam's. They have a real good breakfast/lunch/dinner buffet.
I will say this. They are about 5 miles outside Buffalo on the feeder road. They are on the right hand side if your headed toward Houston. There is no exit! You must exit in Buffalo or you will have to travel an additional 6 miles before you can exit.
