Upper CO Tank is a reservoir in Coconino County, Arizona and covers about 1.3 acres, reaches about 9.7 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 5.5 acre-feet.

On a water as small as Upper CO Tank, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity. With little deep water in Upper CO Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

For the next pass on Upper CO Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

To narrow down Upper CO 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

One way to read Upper CO Tank is this: 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

At Upper CO 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

The plan for Upper CO 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.

On Upper CO 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.
