Two- High Tanks is a reservoir in Otero County, New Mexico, and covers about 0.7 acres, reaches about 2.6 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1.1 acre-feet.
The small size of Two- High Tanks makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Two- High Tanks, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
At Two- High Tanks, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
One way to read Two- High Tanks is this: 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
For a first pass on Two- High Tanks, 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
A direct approach on Two- High Tanks works like this: 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
To begin fishing Two- High Tanks, 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.
During the first hour on Two- High Tanks, 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.
