Grassy Tank

Grassy Tank in Apache County is a reservoir in Arizona and covers about 0.1 acres, reaches about 4.4 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.2 acre-feet.

The plan for Grassy Tank starts here: this water is light water, so a careful lap around the shoreline can show most of the useful cover. On an first pass, with little deep water in Grassy Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

At Grassy Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; fish the same shape nearby on this 0.1-acre reservoir.

At Grassy Tank, 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; fish the same shape nearby on this 0.1-acre reservoir.

How to Read the Water

At Grassy 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

At Grassy 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

At Grassy 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; fish the same shape nearby on this 0.1-acre reservoir.

At Grassy 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; fish the same shape nearby on this 0.1-acre reservoir.
