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

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

Fish and Baits

On Piñon Mountain Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

To begin fishing Piñon Mountain 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

A focused trip to Piñon Mountain Tank begins this way: 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

Before moving far on Piñon Mountain 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

Use this plain plan on Piñon Mountain 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.

To narrow down Piñon Mountain 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.
