The 1-acre Cedar Tank in Cochise County is a reservoir in Arizona and covers about 1 acres, reaches about 8.9 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 3.8 acre-feet.

Cedar Tank is light water, so a careful lap around the shoreline can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Cedar Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

At Cedar Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

At Cedar 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.

How to Read the Water

On Cedar Tank, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

Keep the first check on Cedar Tank 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 Cedar 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.

At Cedar 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.
