Oak Tank

Oak Tank in Greenlee County is a reservoir in Arizona and covers about 0.2 acres, reaches about 5.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.6 acre-feet.

On a water as small as Oak Tank, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity. One way to read Oak Tank is this: this water is shallow, so weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

At Oak Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; move only after checking the nearby drop on this 0.2-acre reservoir.

At Oak 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; move only after checking the nearby drop on this 0.2-acre reservoir.

How to Read the Water

At Oak Tank, 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; move only after checking the nearby drop on this 0.2-acre reservoir.

Season by Season

At Oak 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

At Oak 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; move only after checking the nearby drop on this 0.2-acre reservoir.

At Oak 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; move only after checking the nearby drop on this 0.2-acre reservoir.
