Corona Lake's trout action has remained wide open with nice stringers the rule rather than the exception over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Heavy plants made for an excellent bite, especially for anglers who can fish small jigs, plastic trout worms, and floating dough baits on light tackle.

There were also some huge trophy Sierra Bows planted for the holiday and the big fish reported was a 14-pounder landed by Jose Delfin, pictured above from Riverside, fishing garlic chartreuse floating bait from shore. Tim Halley, Las Vegas, landed 10-pound rainbow fly-fishing from his float tube along the east shoreline. Eight-pound trout were caught by Santiago Palacios, West Covina, on a chartreuse floating bait and Pete Perez, Moreno Valley, on Captain America floating bait. J.J. Messinese, Riverside, landed a 7 3/4-pound trout, and Jayden Sage, Fontana, landed a seven-pounder.

The best action continues to be on small trout jigs, trout plastics, and floating dough baits fishing on light line. Top spots have been the area behind the bait shop, the whole west shoreline, at the dam, and on the far side of the lake. While the trout are averaging one to two pounds, there have been a lot of three to five-pounders in the mix.
