Canyon Ferry: Walleyes and a few perch are being caught in 25-30 feet of water from the Silos to the Hole in the Wall area and north of White Earth on the west shore while using bottom-bouncers with worm harnesses with chartreuse or silver spinner blades or tiger perch-colored crankbaits. Rainbow action is improving on the north end while trolling cowbells or rapalas between Yacht Basin and Cemetery Island and along the cabins on the east shore and around the Silos while using crankbaits, jigs or other traditional walleye gear. Shore anglers are catching walleyes at Duck Creek on worms or lures and the Silos on hook and worm has produced rainbows and perch. Troy Humphrey, FWP, Helena
Hauser: Rainbows are being caught while trolling blue or green crankbaits out from Black Sandy, while fly fishing with leech patterns near the mouth of Trout Creek and Spokane Creek and from the Causeway Bridge with floating jigs tipped with worms or flies. A few walleye are being picked up from the Causeway Bridge as well while using various jigs tipped with nightcrawlers. Chris Hurley, FWP, Helena
Holter: Rainbow fishing has been great on the lower end of the reservoir while trolling cowbells with wedding rings and worms or green crankbaits. An occasional kokanee is being picked up while trolling cowbells for rainbows. A few walleye are being caught while jigging with worms along the Clay Banks. Most perch are being caught with small jigs and worms around the boat docks and other weed beds in 10 to 20 feet of water. Chris Hurley, FWP, Helena
