Canyon Ferry:  A few walleye are being caught out from the Silos in 20 feet of water while using bottom bouncers or Slow Death rigs with green, red, white or silver blades and worms. Rainbows are being caught while trolling cowbells or spoons between the Silos and White Earth. Shore anglers are finding fishing success for rainbows around Kim’s Marina and Confederate while using worms or flyfishing with nymphs.  Troy Humphrey, FWP, Helena
