Fishing in Hauser, Helena Valley Regulating Reservoir, and Lake Helena offers potential, but tactics are crucial. Walleye and pike fishing demand specific lures and strategies, while Lake Helena struggles with weed growth limiting trolling options. For effective catches, targeting weed edges and using diverse baits is essential, particularly as pike become more active.

The warming weather has improved fishing across Canyon Ferry, Hauser, and Holter reservoirs. Walleyes are active, with good catches reported in Canyon Ferry and Lake Helena, while rainbows and kokanee are in abundance. Various baits and techniques are effective, attracting multi-species action throughout these waters.

Canyon Ferry shore fishing has slowed, but boat anglers are successful with various methods. Hauser and Holter also report good catches of rainbows, walleyes, and occasional perch.
