Brown trout limits common during Corona Lake's sizzling trout action
There were at least 34 limits of trout reported at Corona Lake over the past week, and most of those stringer consisted of brown trout. The browns were mostly in the two to three pound range, but many fish at four pounds or better anchored many catches.

Top brown weighed in at the tackle shop was a five-pounder that topped a 10-fish stringer that weighed in at 21 pounds total. The fish were landed by Gus Cineros, Corona. Four pound browns were the big fish on the following stringers. Guss Torrealba, Corona, and his group landed 23 browns on Thomas Buoyants fishing from a boat, and the total catch weighed in at 27  ? pounds. Lucy Ortega and Shon Roberts, both Riverside, had nine browns for 27 pounds, including their four-pounder, and all were taken on Z-Spoons. Mike Garcia, Camarillo, landed five browns for a total weight of 14  ? pounds on jigs.

Sturgeon were also planted last week and the top fish reported was a 19-pounder caught by Mario Canales, Perris, while Chris Roseli, Burbank, caught a 13-5 sturgeon. Orlando Valenzuela, Moreno Valley, caught a five-pound keeper sturgeon.

Corona Lake will be planted three times with rainbow trout this week, with trout from Mt. Lassen Trout Farms, Chalk Mound Trout Ranch in Nebraska, and from Jess Ranch in the high desert slated to go in.
