Canyon Ferry: Walleyes are being caught around White Earth, Goose Bay, Hellgate and north of the Silos while trolling bottom bouncers with a worm harness in 10 to 25 feet of water or jigs with a worm. Rainbows are being caught on walleye gear, lures or cowbells in the traditional walleye spots as well as the north end of the reservoir around Cemetary Island and from Shannon to Hellgate. Smallmouth bass are showing up around Cemetary Island while trolling crankbaits. Shore fishing is slow. Troy Humphrey, FWP, Helena
Hauser: Rainbow fishing has been good while trolling orange, yellow, or green crankbaits out from White Sandy, out from Spokane Creek while using marabou jigs or leech pattern flies, and below Canyon Ferry Dam while using various jigs and worms. A few walleye and perch are being found inside the Causeway Arm while pitching jigs and crawlers, or trolling bottom bouncers and crawler harnesses with perch colored spinner blades. Chris Hurley, FWP, Helena
Holter: Rainbow fishing has been great on the upper end of the reservoir while using streamers, nymphs, or leech pattern flies and anglers trolling on the lower end are doing well with cowbells and spinner combos. Departure point is producing rainbows from shore with worms and marshmallows. Good numbers of perch and an occasional walleye are being found while jigging with crawlers around the weed beds throughout the reservoir. Chris Hurley, FWP, Helena
Helena Valley Regulating Reservoir: Some anglers are having success while snagging in the reservoir and the canal near the discharge outlet. 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
