Perry Spring Tank is a reservoir in Lincoln County, New Mexico, and covers about 0.2 acres, reaches about 1.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.2 acre-feet.

Perry Spring Tank is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Perry Spring Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

A direct approach on Perry Spring Tank works like this: the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

To begin fishing Perry Spring 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

A useful start on Perry Spring Tank is simple: 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 first pass on Perry Spring Tank, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

When working Perry Spring 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.

When the bite is slow on Perry Spring 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.
