Double F Tank is a reservoir in Santa Cruz County, Arizona and covers about 0.1 acres, reaches about 4.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.2 acre-feet.
On a water as small as Double F Tank, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity. With little deep water in Double F Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
Before changing spots on Double F Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
When working Double F 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
One way to read Double F Tank is this: 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
A focused trip to Double F Tank begins this way: 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
When the bite is slow on Double F 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.
During the first hour on Double F 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.
