Hartman Tank is a reservoir in Clark County, Nevada.
Use the shape you can see at Hartman Tank: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; work the best shade during bright hours, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
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; try the windblown bank, then slow down after the first bite.
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; repeat the first clean pattern.
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; use water color to choose the first lure, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
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; try deeper shade during summer afternoons, then try natural colors in clear water.
Record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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 the old channel as a guide.
