Deborah Tank is a reservoir in Navajo County, Arizona and covers about 0.2 acres, reaches about 5.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.6 acre-feet.
The small size of Deborah Tank makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Deborah Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
For the next pass on Deborah Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Use this plain plan on Deborah 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
When working Deborah Tank, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Season by Season
A focused trip to Deborah Tank begins this way: 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
To begin fishing Deborah 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.
When choosing a bank on Deborah 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.
