Canyon Ferry: The walleye bite continues to produce great results out from the Silos, Confederate, Hellgate and between Ponds 1 and 2 in 15-25 feet of water while using jigs, bottom-bouncers with flashers or slow-death rigs or crankbaits. Perch and rainbows are also being caught on traditional walleye gear. Rainbows are being caught on the north end along the east shore between Shannon and Hellgate, around Round-Top and out from the Silos while trolling cowbells, spoons or crankbaits. Shore anglers are catching a few rainbows around the Silos on worms or jigs. Troy Humphrey, FWP, Helena
Hauser: Rainbow fishing has been awesome while trolling blue or brown crankbaits between Black Sandy and York Bridge and inside of the Causeway Arm. Fishing from shore at the Causeway Bridge has been productive as well while using leech pattern flies, night crawlers, powerbait, and various spinners and spoons. Walleye and perch fishing has been slow. Chris Hurley, FWP, Helena
Holter: Rainbow action has been awesome on the lower end of the reservoir while trolling cowbells with various spinner rigs tipped with worms. Good numbers of rainbows are also cruising the shorelines and are being caught with nightcrawlers at the boat ramps and Departure Point. A few kokanee are being caught while casting spoons or spinners at the BLM boat ramp. A few perch and an occasional walleye are being caught with various jigs and worms around Cottonwood Creek Bay.

Helena Valley Regulating Reservoir: The snagging season for Kokanee Salmon opened on September 1st and will run through October 31st. Limits are 35 salmon daily with 70 in possession. Chris Hurley, FWP, Helena
