The trout action has been hot at Corona Lake ever since the Nebraska Tailwaker rainbows were planted last week with limits reported right through the weekend.

The biggest of the new trout from Nebraska was a 4 1/2 pounder caught by Greg Sanchez, Chino, to top off his 13 1/2-pound, four-fish stringer on strawberry Power Bait. Joe Conklin of Stanton had six trout to four pounds, while Uishal Singh, Covina, also landed a four-pound Tailwalker.

Most stringers has trout to 3 1/2 or four pounds, and the hot baits were floating dough baits -- Nitro Bait or Power Bait -- and dousing the bait with Nitro Gravy never hunts the action.

While all the attention has switched to trout, the catfish bite has also remained good for the few anglers fishing the cats. Corey Salery, Los Angeles, landed five cats that weighed 10 1/2 pounds total on mackerel and chicken liver.

Trout are now being planted each week, and the plants will alternate between the Nebraska Tailwalkers and the famous Mt. Lassen Trout Farms rainbows. Some of those Mt. Lassen plants will again have the giant rainbows over 20 pounds that has made Mt. Lassen and Santa Ana River Lakes famous.
