Corona Lake's trout action has remained good in spite of rain much of the past week. Heavy weekly plants, including trophy fish, have made for excellent action. More fish are showing on highly scented baits this week, with nightcrawlers and floating dough baits with scent attractants added getting the most play. The anglers fishing small jigs, plastic trout worms, and spoons are doing nearly as good when they key on bright, flashy colors.

The top rainbow reported this past week was a 10-pounder landed by Robert Gonzalez, Whittier, while fishing a nightcrawler from a boat. Lino Jubilado, Alhambra, landed an 8 1/4-pounder from his float tube on PowerBait fishing near the launch ramp, while Julian Lopez, Long Beach, had a 7 1/4-pounder on a salmon egg from the west shoreline.

There were also some impressive stringers landed. Tim Chao, Riverside, had five rainbows for a 22-pound total, all in the four to five-pound range, fishing Lip RipperZ jigs from a boat. Arie Schmutzer, Jason Ross, and Ethan Hattersley, all Wildomar, had 12 trout for a 22 1/2-pound stringer fish chartreuse Nitro Bait in the rain from a boat. Chad Homan Jr. and Chad Sr., Escondido, landed five fish to 4 1/2-pounds for a 14-pound stringer at the dam on green floating bait.

A few sturgeon continue to show with the cooling water conditions. Danny Zamora, Arizona, landed an 18 1/2-pound sturgeon while fishing from a boat with a nightcrawler.
