Center Tank in the central part of Apache County is a reservoir in Arizona.

Use the shape you can see at Center Tank: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

At Center Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; watch water color during the day.

At Center 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; watch water color during the day.

How to Read the Water

For a first pass on Center Tank, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

At Center Tank, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Center 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; watch water color during the day.

At Center 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; watch water color during the day.
