Canyon Ferry: Rainbows are being caught mid-reservoir from the White Earth/Goose Bay areas to Avalanche while trolling crankbaits, spoons or cowbells. Rainbows are also being caught while fishing for other species. Walleyes are being caught between Ponds 2 and 4 and north of the Silos near Hole in the Wall while using a combination of bottom bouncers with worm harnesses, rapalas or jigs with a worm. Smallmouth bass are being caught with jigs on the north end around rocky points and shorelines. Shore fishing has produced both rainbows and walleyes on worms or jigs with a worm around Confederate and north of the Silos. Troy Humphrey, FWP, Helena
Hauser: The walleye bite on Lake Helena has slowed down a little and picked up in the Causeway Arm. Most anglers are doing well while pitching perch-colored jigs tipped with leeches or worms. Bow Fishing for carp on Lake Helena has been great lately. Fishing from the Causeway Bridge during the late evening hours is also producing a few walleye while pitching jigs or using slip bobbers and a leech. Fishing for rainbows below Canyon Ferry Dam has been popular and using either worms and a marshmallow or powerbait has been the preferred tactic. Trolling cowbells between York Bridge and Black Sandy in the early morning or late evening hours has also been producing a few rainbows. Chris Hurley, FWP, Helena
Holter: Walleye action has picked up and anglers are doing well while vertical jigging with leeches or trolling bottom bouncers and crawler harnesses in the Canyon near the Gates of the Mountains, near Cottonwood Creek, and along the Clay Banks on the lower end of the reservoir. A few perch are being caught while pitching smaller jigs and crawlers around Cottonwood Creek, the Oxbow Bend and from the docks at the BLM boat ramp near the Dam. Good numbers of rainbows and an occasion kokanee are being picked up on the lower end of the reservoir while trolling dodgers and various spinners tipped with crawler pieces or corn. Fishing for rainbows from shore with plain crawlers has been popular at Departure Point. Chris Hurley, FWP, Helena
