Canyon Ferry: Good fishing continues for walleye and perch between Duck Creek and Pond 1 and out from the Silos. The best action has been while using bottom-bouncers tipped with a worm in 15 feet of water. Rainbows are being caught around White Earth, Confederate and the north end while trolling cowbells. Rainbows are also being caught from shore by White Earth in Beaver Creek bay. As reservoir elevations continue to drop, ramps will become unusable.
