There were at least 40 limits of rainbow trout reported at Corona Lake over the past week, and many of those stringers included fish from five to seven pounds, and the bite should be even better this week with the season's first plant of sturgeon and German brown trout.

Shon Roberts, Riverside, landed the week's top trout at 7 1/2 pounds fishing a Lip RipperZ jig from a boat. Trout at seven pounds were landed by J.J. Sierra, Fontana, and Scott Black, Murrieta, both on floating baits. Jonathan Wiseman, Murrieta, had a 6 1/2-pound rainbow.

Boat and float-tube anglers are having the best overall success at Corona, but shore anglers are also getting their share of trout. Bright-colored trout plastics, Lip RipperZ or similar trout jigs, and floating baits have all been getting trout. Adding a scent like Eagle Claw Gravy in garlic helps the action.

Anglers should continue to report all their catches at the tackle shop and have photos taken for Fishing Web Cam. All limits reported and all trout over five pounds are worth a free, one-year subscription to Western Outdoor News. Existing subscribers can get half off on a one-year renewal.

The next big event at Corona is a double bonus stocking that will include both brown trout and sturgeon plants for a special four-day event starting Thursday this week and running through Sunday. The browns will be up to five pounds and the sturgeon will be eight to 25 pounds. Anglers can keep sturgeon 15 pounds or under and experience this incredible gourmet fish on the table.
