Current water levels at Red Fleet are still very low (35% capacity); please continue to use caution while navigating the reservoir. Red Fleet is a coolwater and warmwater fishery with many different species to target! Wiper, walleye and largemouth bass are the main predator species in this fishery. Forage fish consist of yellow perch, black crappie and bluegill and all provide a great fishing opportunity for kids and families. Tiger trout are stocked into the reservoir each fall as well as Colorado River cutthroat trout into Brush Creek. On occasion, DWR managers will stock some excess smaller rainbow trout into Red Fleet, but catch rates for this species will be low. As water temperatures approach 55 to 60 degrees the fishing picks up significantly. Wiper are active in the morning and evening hours and will school and ambush small baitfish. The DWR has a stocking quota of 60,000 2-inch triploid walleye each year. Up to this point, walleye survival has been low, but you will still catch them while fishing for other species. DWR staff will be conducting an angler creel survey April–June 2026. QR codes will be available for anyone to report data from their angling trip
