Limits of rainbows to six pounds common for Corona Lake anglers
The excellent trout action continued at Corona Lake this past week after another pair of trout plants, one of Wednesday and another on Friday, and decent numbers of brown trout and sturgeon continue to be caught from plants three weeks ago.

Tom Pearcy, La Verne, caught a 6 1/2-pound rainbow to top off his 9 1/2-pound, four fish stringer fishing rainbow floating bait near the dam. Richard Ahumeda, Corona, landed five trout for 13 pounds and his best fish was a six-pounder, all on rainbow floating bait. Jimmy Shelton, Orange, also had a six-pound rainbow throwing a Thomas Buoyant.

Shon Roberts and Daniel Fernandez, both of Riverside, had a mixed stringer of three browns and four rainbows, topped by a 5 3/4-pound brown trout. All were taken on Lip RipperZ. Blake, Brandon, and Larry Woodward along with John Moreno, all from Chino, caught nine trout to 5 1/2 pounds and one 1 1/2-pound crappie fishing jigs along the east shoreline. Larry and Kevin Lee, Duarte, landed 10 trout for 14 1/4-pounds total fishing corn-flavored floating baits from a boat off the boat dock.

Big sturgeon of the week was a 19-pounder landed by Ernie and Tante Santos, Fontana while fishing chartreuse floating boat for trout at the dam. Paul Soliz, Riverside, caught a 14-pound sturgeon on garlic Nitro Bait at the dam, while Leon Shah, El Cajon, landed an eight-pounder on a nightcrawler, also at the dam.

Trout 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.
