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

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

Fish and Baits

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

On Needmore 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

To narrow down Needmore Tank, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

For the next pass on Needmore 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

While learning Needmore 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.

A useful start on Needmore Tank is simple: 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.
