Canyon Ferry: The walleye bite is picking up with anglers finding success from the Silos to Hole in the Wall, around Ponds 1 and 4, and Hellgate while using bottom bouncers with chartreuse or red spinner blades with worms or various colored crankbaits in 20-25 feet of water.  White Earth and Snaggy Bay are producing walleyes from shore and boat on jigs. Rainbows are being caught on walleye gear, lures or cowbells in the traditional walleye spots as well as between Yacht Basin and Cemetery Island and around the Outhouse.  An occasional rainbow is being caught from shore on a hook and worm.  The carp spawn is mostly over but a few are still being found with archery equipment.  Troy Humphrey, FWP, Helena

Hauser: Walleye fishing has been great in Lake Helena while trolling bottom bouncers and crawler harnesses with chartreuse or orange spinner blades and inside the Causeway Arm While jigging with leeches. A few perch are being found while searching for walleyes. Rainbow fishing has slowed down but a few are being caught with walleye gear and while trolling cowbells and spinner combos with lead core line between the Dam and the Powerlines and from York Bridge to Devil’s Elbow.  Chris Hurley, FWP, Helena

Holter: Walleye fishing continues to be good near the Clay Banks on the lower end of the reservoir and in the Canyon near the Gates of the Mountains while vertical jigging with worms or leeches or trolling bottom bouncers and crawler harnesses in 15 to 25 feet of water. Rainbow fishing has slowed down but good numbers are still being found on the lower end of the reservoir while trolling cowbells and spinner combos with lead core line. Kokanee fishing has been good between Split Rock and the Dam while trolling dodgers or cowbells with double whammy spinners tipped with shoepeg corn in 30 to 80 feet of water. Perch action has been great while pitching small jigs and crawlers inside the bays in the Canyon and around the docks at the boat ramps on the lower end of the reservoir.  Chris Hurley, FWP, Helena
