Nancy Tanks is a reservoir in Navajo County, Arizona and covers about 0.1 acres, reaches about 4.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.3 acre-feet.

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

Fish and Baits

At Nancy Tanks, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

On Nancy Tanks, 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

To begin fishing Nancy Tanks, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

Keep the first check on Nancy Tanks simple: 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

When working Nancy Tanks, 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.

A direct approach on Nancy Tanks works like this: 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.
