Fishing at Greisin Pond, Summit County, Ohio

• Overview

  Greisin Pond belongs to Summit County, Ohio. This is mixed forest ground. At 6 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Summit County. For supplies, Montrose-Ghent is 1 mile out. Akron sits 8.7 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Greisin Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Across Summit County, recorded fish include bluegill, rainbow darter and common carp. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. At Greisin Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 71°F for July and 25°F for January. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Ice-out usually falls in late March, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Expect the water usable from around late March until roughly late December. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Greisin Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Parking is mapped about half a mile from the bank. A pier or jetty stands half a mile away, which helps on a crowded bank. There are toilets 0.9 miles off. For the carp, bait a margin spot and sit on it; corn and bread still work. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Lily Hill Lake, 0.4 miles away. Signs at Greisin Pond carry more weight than any list.
