Rush Tank is a reservoir in Coconino County, Arizona and covers about 0.2 acres, reaches about 5.4 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.5 acre-feet.
Rush Tank is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Rush Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
On Rush Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
A useful start on Rush Tank is simple: 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
While learning Rush Tank, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Season by Season
The early check on Rush Tank should stay simple: early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
A Simple Tackle Plan
The first look at Rush Tank should cover this: 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.
One way to read Rush Tank is 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.
