Canyon Ferry: Walleyes are being caught in 20-25 feet of water between the Silos and White Earth along the west shore while using bottom-bouncers with worm harnesses or slo-death rigs with silver or white spinner blades tipped with a worm. North of White earth is producing walleyes as well. Rainbows are being caught while trolling spoons around Confederate. Shore anglers are catching rainbows at Confederate on worms or powerbait while Shannon is producing both rainbows and walleye on worms in the evenings. Troy Humphrey, FWP, Helena
