M and D Tank is a reservoir in Pima County, Arizona.

No reliable acreage is listed for M and D Tank, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

A direct approach on M and D Tank works like this: the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

A focused trip to M and D Tank begins this way: 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

Before changing spots on M and D 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

For a short trip to M and D 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

To begin fishing M and D 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 M and D 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.
