Double Tank in Chaves County is a reservoir in New Mexico.

The recorded size of Double Tank is missing; fish one short shoreline carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

For a first pass on Double Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

The early check on Double Tank should stay simple: 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

A useful start on Double Tank is simple: 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.

Season by Season

One way to read Double Tank is this: 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

For a short trip to Double 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.

To begin fishing Double 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.
