White Tank

The 1-acre White Tank in Coconino County is a reservoir in Arizona and covers about 1 acres, reaches about 8.9 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 3.8 acre-feet.

When working White Tank, the small size of this water makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. A useful start on White Tank is simple: this water is shallow, so weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

At White Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock on this 1-acre reservoir.

At White 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; use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock on this 1-acre reservoir.

How to Read the Water

At White Tank, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

At White 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; use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock on this 1-acre reservoir.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At White 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; use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock on this 1-acre reservoir.

At White 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; use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock on this 1-acre reservoir.
