Kirila Pond Fishing in Trumbull County, Ohio

• Overview

  Kirila Pond lies in Trumbull County, Ohio. The setting is farm and woodlot. Surface area runs to about 10 acres — small enough to read in one session. Nearest place of any size is Brookfield Center, 0.7 miles away. Akron is the closest city, 52 miles away. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules. It sits far enough from the road to feel away from things.

• Where to Fish on Kirila Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. County-wide records name johnny darter, fantail darter, bluegill, white sucker and green sunfish. The county list is broader than any single water. The shape of Kirila Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 71°F in July and bottom out at 25°F in January. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Kirila Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. A toilet block sits half a mile away. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Coalburg Lake sits 2.6 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Kirila Pond for certain.
