Canyon Ferry: Walleye action continues to be good while using bottom bouncers with green spinner blades with worms or leeches in 20 to 25 feet of water around Ponds 2 and 3, Silos and out from Hole in the Wall. Rainbow fishing has improved from both shore and boat. Shore anglers are finding rainbows around White Earth, the Outhouse and Shannon while boat anglers are catching rainbows around Cemetary Island, the Outhouse and Hole in the Wall on spinners or cowbells. Carp are providing great action while fishing from shore and boat with worms and can be caught with the same walleye and rainbow gear or by bow fishing. Troy Humphrey, FWP, Helena
Holter: The walleye bite continues to be good inside the Canyon near the Gates of the Mountains, around Cottonwood Creek, and other points and weed beds on the lower end of the reservoir while vertical jigging with leeches. Rainbow fishing continues to be great throughout the reservoir while trolling deep running crankbaits or cowbells and spinner combos tipped with crawlers. Power Bait, nightcrawlers, and various spinners and spoons are working well for rainbows from shore. A few perch are being caught while pitching jigs and crawlers around the boat ramp docks from Log Gulch to the BLM campground, in Cottonwood Creek Bay, and around the Oxbow Bend area.
