The 0.2-acre Walker Tank in Coconino County is a reservoir in Arizona and covers about 0.2 acres, reaches about 5.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.6 acre-feet.

The early check on Walker Tank should stay simple: this is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. Use this plain plan on Walker Tank: this water is shallow, so weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

At Walker Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; slow the bait when a good edge appears on this 0.2-acre reservoir.

At Walker 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; slow the bait when a good edge appears on this 0.2-acre reservoir.

How to Read the Water

At Walker 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; slow the bait when a good edge appears on this 0.2-acre reservoir.

Season by Season

At Walker 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 Walker 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; slow the bait when a good edge appears on this 0.2-acre reservoir.

At Walker 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; slow the bait when a good edge appears on this 0.2-acre reservoir.
