Sheep Corral Tank is a reservoir in Yavapai County, 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 Sheep Corral Tank, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity. With little deep water in Sheep Corral Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

To narrow down Sheep Corral Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During the first hour on Sheep Corral 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 a short trip to Sheep Corral Tank, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

The plan for Sheep Corral Tank starts here: 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

Before moving far on Sheep Corral 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.

For a first pass on Sheep Corral 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.
