That is an easy question to answer:
Anywhere!
Always remember:
A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.
and
Work is for people that do not know how to fish.

Cpl Vic Burk Well if you want to be the advanced fisherman you do this.
1. Set your self up under a tree in a comfortable chair.
2. Cooler with food and drinks by your side.
3. Prepare pole with bobber and weights ONLY. No need for hooks or bait. If we want fish there is Long John Silvers or any grocery store. We have all we need with pole in hand, under a shade tree with drink and food by our side.

Beautiful!!! I was stationed at FT Lewis in the 90s and fished the water front and Pt. Defiance good fishing great scenery. We used to get that "give a way" salmon during the Puyallup tribe salmon egg harvest, if I remember right, for Platoon cook-outs..

My best bass was caught at the Butler County lake in Kansas, even though it probably doesn't compare to the best catches of others. I'm still a little new to fishing. I'm actually heading up to Wisconsin later today--spending the weekend with some family--and I'm hoping to land a few big ones out of the St. Louis River. *Fingers crossed*

Wow, I had the opportunity to fish many of Kansas's county and city lakes in Crawford County and surrounding counties. Bone Creek was hot when it opened, Fort Scott City lake was great for crappie, Big Hill had some "huge" largemouth as did Neosho State. Keep your line wet and catch a big one then let her go.

SGT Joseph Gunderson Mention of fishing in a tributary of the Mississippi River causes me to wonder. A cousin from Southern Ohio, on the Ohio River told me that due to industrial pollution he had never eaten a fish from the Ohio River. Are most rivers contaminated to that degree?

CSM Charles Hayden Passed 7/29/2025 Here in Wichita, I don't know a single person who would be willing to eat a fish out of the Arkansas, and when I visited family up in Wisconsin, they warn anglers not to eat fish out of the St. Louis. I'm pretty sure most large rivers in the US are contaminated to such a level that eating fish caught in them is ill-advised. Lakes and reservoirs, however, so long as they are remote from river access, seem to be fine.

We fished Blood River as a kid in the mid-late 60s. The limit on crappie was 60 each then. We threw smaller ones back and got our limit by mid morning. We'd put 2 boats in and get minnows at Elmer's Boat Dock at dark thirty. He often opened the gate for us before daylight. Fish finders were new, and we had a basic Lowrance. Find the brush in the bays and go to work. Lyndhurst Ridge was a honey pot and we each fished 2-3 poles. Biggest were slabs close to 2 lbs. Filet at home and freeze in milk cartons for crappie all Winter long.

When I was stationed in Missouri at Ft. Leonardwood, I fished anywhere I could. Lakes, rivers, streams, or ponds, we were there. I caught my first large mouth bass at Lake of the Ozarks. I taught all my daughters how to do everything fishing. Baiting the hook, casting, and how to reel them in. We had a lot of good times and memories. Probably my favorite duty station, and for sure some of my best family memories!

Don’t think I have found a spot I didn’t like, yet if I had to pick my favorite, it has to be the Russian River in Alaska. I was raised on that river and I still continue to fish it to this day. My favorite part is helping visitors, who have not gotten the 411 on how to be successful, and watching them zero in on that salmon, hook, fight, and reel it in. The finishing touch, inviting them to the campsite, filleting and cooking it up for them...Great great times that Russian River.

That’s too cool! Good pictures too! McQueen flew out of Santa Paula airport, that’s where I was born and raised. I believe he also had a house in the hills nearby.
