Double Knobs Tank

Double Knobs Tank is a reservoir in Coconino 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 Double Knobs Tank makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Double Knobs Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

When choosing a bank on Double Knobs Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

The first look at Double Knobs Tank should cover this: 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

A focused trip to Double Knobs Tank begins this way: make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

While learning Double Knobs 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

For the next pass on Double Knobs 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.

While fishing Double Knobs 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.
