L-Tank is a reservoir in New Mexico, near Santa Fe County.
L-Tank is a reservoir in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, and covers about 1 acres, reaches about 3 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1.6 acre-feet.
On a water as small as L-Tank, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity. With little deep water in L-Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
For a first pass on L-Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the first hour on L-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.
At L-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.
The early check on L-Tank should stay simple: 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.
The plan for L-Tank starts here: 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 L-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.
