Fish species in Foo Tank

Foo Tank is a reservoir in Mohave County, Arizona and covers about 9.9 acres, reaches about 18.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 77 acre-feet.

On a water as small as Foo Tank, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Foo Tank include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Green Sunfish, and Largemouth Bass.

When bluegill are the target on Foo Tank, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.

A useful largemouth bass plan on Foo Tank is to work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.

The first channel catfish pass on Foo Tank should fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.

How to Read the Water

When working Foo 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

On Foo Tank, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

One way to read Foo Tank is this: 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 first pass on Foo 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.
