Summit Tank

The 0.3-acre Summit Tank in Coconino County is a reservoir in Arizona and covers about 0.3 acres, reaches about 6.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.8 acre-feet.

Summit Tank is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Summit Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

How to Read the Water

At Summit 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

At Summit Tank, 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

At Summit 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; keep the first route short on this 0.3-acre reservoir.

At Summit 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; keep the first route short on this 0.3-acre reservoir.
