La Cholla Tank

The 1.5-acre La Cholla Tank in Pima County is a reservoir in Arizona and covers about 1.5 acres, reaches about 10 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 6.4 acre-feet.

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

Fish and Baits

At La Cholla Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; separate open-water fish from bank fish on this 1.5-acre reservoir.

At La Cholla 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; separate open-water fish from bank fish on this 1.5-acre reservoir.

How to Read the Water

At La Cholla 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

At La Cholla 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 La Cholla 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; separate open-water fish from bank fish on this 1.5-acre reservoir.

At La Cholla 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; separate open-water fish from bank fish on this 1.5-acre reservoir.
