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

The small size of Screen Tank makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Screen Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

One way to read Screen Tank is this: the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Before moving far on Screen 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

For the next pass on Screen 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 first look at Screen Tank should cover this: 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

The plan for Screen Tank starts here: 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 direct approach on Screen Tank works like 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.
