Upper Sandstone Tank is a reservoir in Coconino County, Arizona.

No reliable acreage is listed for Upper Sandstone Tank, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

A useful start on Upper Sandstone Tank is simple: the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

The first look at Upper Sandstone Tank should cover 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 Upper Sandstone Tank, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

To narrow down Upper Sandstone Tank, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

When choosing a bank on Upper Sandstone 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.

One way to read Upper Sandstone Tank is this: 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.
