Canyon Ferry: Walleye fishing has slowed down with a few being caught out from the Silos in the river channel in 15-20 feet of water while using bottom bouncers with various colors of spinner blades. Rainbow action is picking up on the north end while trolling cowbells or spoons. Shore fishing for rainbows is producing good results at Hellgate, Shannon and Chinamen’s while fly fishing with nymphs or using worms. Troy Humphrey, FWP, Helena
