Bridge Tank

Bridge Tank in the north-central part of Coconino County is a reservoir in Arizona.

Without a dependable size figure for Bridge Tank, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the strongest starting clues.

Fish and Baits

At Bridge Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; slow the bait when a good edge appears.

At Bridge Tank, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water; slow the bait when a good edge appears.

How to Read the Water

A direct approach on Bridge Tank works like this: make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

A useful start on Bridge Tank is simple: spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Bridge Tank, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle; slow the bait when a good edge appears.

At Bridge Tank, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; slow the bait when a good edge appears.
