McKinney Tanks is a reservoir in Nye County, Nevada.
The recorded size of McKinney Tanks is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; start with the cover closest to deep water, then fish isolated cover before a long empty edge.
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; follow any bait found near the surface, then keep line light around small clear-water fish.
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; check a protected pocket after sunrise, then move only after checking the nearby drop.
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; keep a worm ready for a slower check.
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; start beside the first useful break, then use the same depth on the next similar feature.
Record the wind, water color, depth that gave up a fish, 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; fish where rock meets mud, then try a natural color before a loud pattern.
