Spar Tank is a reservoir in Graham County, Arizona.

Use the shape you can see at Spar Tank: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

The plan for Spar Tank starts here: the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

A direct approach on Spar Tank works like this: 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

When working Spar 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

A useful start on Spar Tank is simple: 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

On Spar 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 Spar 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.
