Your Guide to Walleye and Rainbow Fishing in Helena Area Reservoirs 7.20.26

A FWP fishing guide highlights active walleye and rainbow trout fishing across Helena-area reservoirs, with the best conditions reported in multiple waters. For Canyon Ferry Reservoir, anglers are finding very good walleye action between the Silos and the Ponds, including the river mouth in 15 to 20 feet of water, and other productive areas in 20 to 35 feet using slow-death rigs or worm harnesses, along with spinner blades, jigs, and crankbaits. Rainbows are also taking walleye gear in traditional locations such as the north end around Hellgate and Cemetery Island, plus parts of the west shore. The guide also cites Causeway Arm success and shore catches near Causeway Bridge, while rainbow fishing at Holter Reservoir is described as strong across much of the lake, especially at the upper end. It reports kokanee at depths down to 60 feet near Split Rock to the Dam, using similar trolling setups.
