Fogle Tank

Fogle Tank is a reservoir in Yavapai County, Arizona and covers about 1 acres, reaches about 8.9 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 3.8 acre-feet.

On a water as small as Fogle Tank, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity. With little deep water in Fogle Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

For a first pass on Fogle Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

A useful start on Fogle Tank is simple: 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 Fogle Tank begins this way: use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

While fishing Fogle 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

For the next pass on Fogle 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.

For a short trip to Fogle 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.
