Highway Sixty Tank

Highway Sixty Tank is a reservoir in Navajo County, Arizona and covers about 0.7 acres, reaches about 8.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 2.6 acre-feet.

Highway Sixty Tank is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Highway Sixty Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

Keep the first check on Highway Sixty Tank simple: the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

For a first pass on Highway Sixty 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.

How to Read the Water

During the first hour on Highway Sixty 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.

Season by Season

While learning Highway Sixty 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

On Highway Sixty 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 the next pass on Highway Sixty 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.
