Pipeline Tank

The 0.7-acre Pipeline Tank in Coconino County is a reservoir in Arizona and covers about 0.7 acres, reaches about 8.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 2.6 acre-feet.

When working Pipeline Tank, this is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. Keep the first check on Pipeline Tank simple: this water is shallow, so weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

At Pipeline Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; separate open water from cover on this 0.7-acre reservoir.

At Pipeline 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; separate open water from cover on this 0.7-acre reservoir.

How to Read the Water

At Pipeline 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; separate open water from cover on this 0.7-acre reservoir.

Season by Season

At Pipeline 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; separate open water from cover on this 0.7-acre reservoir.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Pipeline 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; separate open water from cover on this 0.7-acre reservoir.

At Pipeline 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; separate open water from cover on this 0.7-acre reservoir.
