Greasewood Tank is a reservoir in Emery County, Utah.

No reliable acreage is listed for Greasewood Tank, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; test a shaded bank, then try a brighter bait when the water is dirty.

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; cast across the break instead of along it, then slow down after the first bite.

How to Read the Water

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; follow a short creek arm, then look for a second bite before leaving.

Season by Season

Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; keep the first pass close to structure, then repeat the depth that gives the first bite.

A Simple Tackle Plan

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; pause the bait on each small drop, then separate open water from cover.

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; follow the old channel through the lake, then use one moving lure and one slow bait.
