Coupon Tank is a reservoir in Graham County, Arizona and covers about 3.2 acres, reaches about 12.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 17.7 acre-feet.
The small size of Coupon Tank makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

How to Read the Water
For a first pass on Coupon Tank, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and stained water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
Season by Season
During the first hour on Coupon Tank, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
A Simple Tackle Plan
Before moving far on Coupon 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.
A useful start on Coupon Tank is simple: 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.
