Comet Lake Fishing Guide, Summit County, Ohio

• Overview

  Comet Lake lies in Summit County, Ohio. This is rolling hill ground. Surface area runs to about 21 acres — small enough to read in one session. For a base, New Franklin sits 1.8 miles out. For a city, Akron is 11 miles off. Within a short drive: Lake Noah a shade over 0.8 miles, Nimisila Reservoir about 1.6 miles, Singer Lake a shade over 1.9 miles, Willowdale Lake about 2.5 miles and Mud Lake a shade over 3.5 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Comet Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Records held for Summit County cover bluegill, rainbow darter, common carp and fantail darter. The county list is broader than any single water. On Comet Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 25°F to 72°F. Fishing continues through most of the calendar, with quiet spells rather than closures. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. That shapes the year on Comet Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Boat services are half a mile out at the marina. The nearest car park we can see is half a mile out, so expect a walk with your gear. A toilet block sits half a mile away. For the carp, bait a margin spot and sit on it; corn and bread still work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, Lake Noah is 0.8 miles off. Check the position on Comet Lake before loading the car.
