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

The small size of Wright Tank makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Wright Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

Use this plain plan on Wright Tank: the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Before changing spots on Wright 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

The first look at Wright Tank should cover this: 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

To narrow down Wright Tank, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

The early check on Wright Tank should stay simple: 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.

For a first pass on Wright 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.
