As summer heats up, local fishing patterns are shifting. Success depends on depth, color, and adapting to vegetation. Below Canyon Ferry Dam, fishing is slow, while Walleye are biting better at the Causeway using various baits. Kokanee fishing is decent at Regulating Reservoir, with specific colors improving catches.

The ice fishing season is wrapping up in the Helena area, with rapidly changing conditions giving way to open water and the promise of great spring fishing ahead!
