Fleming Tank

Fleming Tank is a reservoir in Doña Ana County, New Mexico.

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

Fish and Baits

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

To begin fishing Fleming 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

On Fleming Tank, 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

While fishing Fleming 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

During the first hour on Fleming 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.

While learning Fleming 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.
