Bar B Tank is a reservoir in Sierra County, New Mexico.

Without a dependable size figure for Bar B Tank, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

During the first hour on Bar B Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

When working Bar B 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

Before moving far on Bar B 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.

Season by Season

For a short trip to Bar B 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

The early check on Bar B 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.

To narrow down Bar B 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.
