Double Circle Tank

Double Circle Tank in Coconino County is a reservoir in Arizona and covers about 0.5 acres, reaches about 7.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1.5 acre-feet.

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

How to Read the Water

At Double Circle 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

At Double Circle Tank, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Double Circle 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; use a moving lure to search on this 0.5-acre reservoir.

At Double Circle 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; use a moving lure to search on this 0.5-acre reservoir.
