Canyon Ferry: Rainbow trout anglers are catching fish from shore using worms and marshmallows at Confederate Bay, Kim’s Marina, and the Silos recreation area. Walleye fishing has been slow throughout the reservoir, but tolling worm harnesses, tipped with a worm, in 25 to 40 feet of water is working for a few anglers. No report for yellow perch.

Hauser: Rainbow action continues to be very good from both shore and boat. Boat anglers are finding success while trolling cowbells around the Black Sandy/White Sandy area and in the Causeway. Shore anglers are finding success at the Causeway Bridge and below Canyon Ferry Dam while using worms, marshmallows, wooly buggers or Powerbait. Walleye fishing is slow with a few being caught in the Causeway and at the Causeway Bridge on jigs and worms at night. Troy Humphrey, FWP, Helena
