Gash Tank is a reservoir in Coconino County, Arizona.

Use the shape you can see at Gash Tank: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

The plan for Gash Tank starts here: the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

A direct approach on Gash Tank works like 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

The early check on Gash Tank should stay simple: do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

When choosing a bank on Gash 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

When the bite is slow on Gash 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.

Keep the first check on Gash Tank simple: 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.
