SOUTH CAL CORONA LAKE UPDATE
CORONA— The rainbow trout action has continued to be good in spite of unsettled weather over the past week, with at least 28 limits of rainbow trout and fish to 7 pounds reported, and the catfish bite is also starting to kick into gear.
The big rainbow of the week was a 71⁄2-pound fish landed by Ken Zapazant of Foothill Ranch while fishing a chartreuse floating dough bait from shore. Ken Mikkelsen and Larry Swelgert, both of Rancho Cucamonga, had four ’bows topped by a 6 pounder.
While only a handful of anglers are targeting catfish, the catches have been impressive. There was a 261⁄2-pound catfish caught by Frank Lemon of Pomona using mackerel from a boat. Jim and Susan Davis of Lake Elsinore were fishing both mackerel and chicken liver and landed 10 cats for a total of 26.12 pounds, with a 5 pounder the top fish.
Boat and float tube anglers are having the best overall success, 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.
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 March 18-21. The browns will be up to 5 pounds and the sturgeon will be 8 to 25 pounds. Anglers can now keep sturgeon 15 pounds or under and experience this incredible gourmet fish on the table.
