Canyon Ferry: The walleye bite is really holding up with action happening throughout the reservoir. Around Hellgate and south to Goose Bay, north and south of White Earth and from the Silos to Pond 4 were the spots with the best fishing. Crankbaits, jigs and bottom bouncers with spinners or slow death rigs all had good results in 15 to 25 feet of water. Perch and rainbows are also being caught while using traditional walleye tackle. Rainbows are being caught on crankbaits or cowbells on the north end around Cemetary Island. Smallmouth bass are starting to show up around rocky points on the north end. An occasional rainbow or walleye is being caught from shore. Troy Humphrey, FWP, Helena
Holter: Rainbow fishing has been good at night while using jigs and worms along the cliffs from Black Beach to Split Rock and throughout the reservoir while trolling Ford fenders or cowbells about 25 feet down with wedding rings and a worm. Good numbers of perch are being found from Cottonwood Creek to the Dam while jigging with worms around weed beds in 10 to 20 feet of water. A few walleye are being caught in the same areas as the perch. Most kokanee continue to be caught Just above the Dam while trolling 60 to 80 feet deep with Dodgers, flashers and Hoochies tipped with corn. Chris Hurley, FWP, Helena
