Canyon Ferry: Good walleye action continues from the Silos north to Hole in the Wall and between Duck Creek and Confederate in 20-30 feet of water while using 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 and around the Silos while trolling cowbells, spoons or rapalas. Shore anglers are catching a few rainbows in various spots around the reservoir on worms or jigs. Troy Humphrey, FWP, Helena
Hauser: Rainbow fishing has been great while fishing from shore at the Causeway and from Black Sandy campground. Fly fishing with leech patterns, wooly buggers, hares ear, or prince nymphs has been working well. Some anglers are having success with crawlers and a marshmallow. 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 or while trolling crankbaits 10-12 feet deep. Some anglers are catching some nice rainbows while night fishing from shore with nightcrawlers or powerbait. Walleye and perch action has slowed down. Chris Hurley, FWP, Helena
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
