Kendall Lake Fishing in Summit County, Ohio

• Overview

  Kendall Lake is one of the Summit County listings for Ohio. It stands 810 feet above sea level. At 14 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. The nearest place of any size is Boston Heights, 3.4 miles away. Hudson follows at 4.7 miles, then Silver Lake at 5.5 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Kendall Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Fish documented in Summit County include bluegill, rainbow darter, common carp and fantail darter. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Take Kendall Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 71°F at the top of summer and 25°F at the bottom of winter. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Kendall Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits
