Kathy Tank is a reservoir in Coconino County, Arizona and covers about 0.1 acres, reaches about 4.9 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.3 acre-feet.

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

Fish and Baits

A focused trip to Kathy Tank begins this way: the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

A useful start on Kathy 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

The plan for Kathy Tank starts here: 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

When choosing a bank on Kathy 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

The early check on Kathy Tank should stay simple: 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.

At Kathy 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.
