498-acre reservoir in Uintah County, Utah. The lake tops out around 144 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Red Fleet Reservoir maps at 419 acres behind 12.2 miles of shoreline. A development index of 4.2 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 23% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Figure 2.1 mi of water from one end to the other, 1.5 mi at the beam. Uintah County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Steinaker Reservoir, is 7 mi to the southwest.
Early season crappie use the shallows, holding in 2 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 25 ft, then a winter hold in 15 to 35 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 6 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a jig trolled/spider-rigged or a small crankbait (trolled) and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | 1/16 oz jig + tube, Curly-tail grub |
