Fish species in State Land Tank

State Land Tank is a reservoir in Yavapai County, Arizona and covers about 3.9 acres, reaches about 13.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 22.5 acre-feet.

The small size of State Land Tank makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for State Land Tank include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Green Sunfish, and Largemouth Bass.

While looking for bluegill on State Land Tank, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.

A useful largemouth bass plan on State Land Tank is to work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.

When channel catfish are the target on State Land Tank, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.

How to Read the Water

When working State Land 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

For a short trip to State Land 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

The first look at State Land 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.

A focused trip to State Land Tank begins this way: 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.
