Old Mill Pond Fishing Guide, Summit County, Ohio

• Overview

  The Summit County end of Ohio holds Old Mill Pond. The bank is 968 feet above sea level. Surface area runs to about 12 acres — small enough to read in one session. The closest town, Cuyahoga Falls, is 1.9 miles distant. The big place round here is Akron, 5 miles distant. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Old Mill Pond

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Open biodiversity records for Summit County list bluegill, rainbow darter, common carp and fantail darter. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. The near bank of Old Mill Pond is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 72°F in July and bottoms out near 26°F in January. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Time your trip to Old Mill Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Parking is mapped about half a mile from the bank. Carp respond to sweetcorn or boilies fished patiently on the bottom near feeding areas. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Kool Lake, 2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Old Mill Pond if anything is unclear.
