Canyon Ferry: A few rainbow trout continue to be caught throughout the reservoir. Successful shoreline anglers are using worms from shore at on the north end of the reservoir. Boat anglers are catching fish near Cemetery Island and Goose Bay trolling cowbells, tipped with worms, in 10 to 40 feet of water. Walleye fishing continues to be good throughout the reservoir. South end anglers are trolling worm harnesses (orange and green), tipped with night crawlers or leeches, and crankbaits (orange, green, and silver). Jigging (perch colored) bay points, mid-reservoir to the dam, continues to produce walleye. Some yellow perch are being caught while searching for walleye throughout the south end of the reservoir.

Hauser: Rainbows are being caught trolling cowbells, Daredevils or Little Cleo’s around Devil’s Elbow and Black Sandy. Shore fishing is slow for rainbows with a few being caught on worms at Riverside. Walleye are being caught at the Causeway Bridge on jigs with a leech and in the Causeway Arm on bottom bouncers and a leech or worm. A few perch are being caught at the Causeway Bridge and in Lake Helena on worms. Troy Humphrey, FWP, Helena

Holter: Rainbow fishing has slowed down during the day, but night fishing has been producing around Split Rock and Black Beach while trolling cowbells. Walleye fishing is good around the clay banks in Lower Holter and the “miracle mile” around Cottonwood Creek. Jigs and bottom bouncers seem to be working equally well for walleye. Abundant perch are being caught on jigs and worms in 8 to 15 feet of water around weedbeds. Troy Humphrey, FWP, Helena
