Fenceline Tank is a reservoir in Arizona, near Apache County.
Fenceline Tank in Apache County is a reservoir in Arizona and covers about 32.3 acres, reaches about 26.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 180.3 acre-feet.
Fenceline Tank can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish listed for Fenceline Tank include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, and Largemouth Bass.
For black crappie, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops; change lure speed before moving.
For bluegill, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets; work each small drop before going deeper.
For largemouth bass, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover; work each small drop before going deeper.
At Fenceline Tank, try this for channel catfish: fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
A focused trip to this water begins this way: other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
To begin fishing Fenceline Tank, 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.
When choosing a bank on Fenceline 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.
At Fenceline 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.
At Fenceline 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.
Start with the cover closest to deep water, then fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops; slow the bait when a good edge appears.
On an first pass, treat 26.1 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and shift deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.
A useful start on this water is simple: move after checking the same useful feature at several depths without finding bait, a clean edge, or a bite.
