INTRODUCING THE PIGGY BANK SPECIAL!!
First Time Ever Offered!!
A lot of people have a junk drawer or a piggy bank that probably has several old silver coins in them that would not amount to a hill of beans if you took them to a coin shop. Bring them to the Lakes instead, because for a limited time, the Lakes will take them for admission. So start digging through that drawer or crack open that piggy bank and come have some fun for only a dollar with 1964 or older dimes, quarters, half-dollars and dollars.
Please read poster BELOW for more details.

Quality trout highlight good
bite at Santa Ana River Lakes

Rainbows at 11 ½ and 10-pounds, two-ounces highlight the very good trout action continuing at Santa Ana River Lakes, and heavy weekly trout plants are keeping this action hot.
The big fish of the week was caught by Frank Guzman, Santa Fe Springs. The 11 ½-pounder was caught on a chartreuse floating bait at the Bubble Hole. Mark and David Lubetski, both of Downey, had a pair of rainbows fishing rainbow PowerBait at Levitz’ Corner and the big fish was the a 10-2 trout.
Santiago Palacios, West Covina, had a 9 ½-pounder to top off his seven-fish, 20-pound stringer that also included a couple of catfish. He was fishing with shrimp and chartreuse floating boats at the Bubble Hole. Joe Morrell, Whittier, landed a 6 ¾-pound rainbow on a nightcrawler, while Tony and Armando Castro, Valencia, landed five rainbows that weighed 15 pounds total. The big fish was a six-pounder, and all the trout were landed on chartreuse trout plastics. Andreus Virgen, Whittier, landed a five-pounder to top off his 11-fish, 22-pound stringer fishing small trout jigs off La Palma Point.
The hot bite has been best on the usual array of baits with most anglers fishing floating dough baits, plastic trout worms, small trout jigs, and inflated nightcrawlers. Adding one of the prepared scents, especially garlic, has improved the effectiveness of any of the baits or lures used. The trout are also showing all around the big lake and throughout Chris’ Pond, and big weekly plants of rainbows has kept the action hot, mostly on 1 ½ to three-pound rainbows.
The lakes are open seven days a week with fishing allowed from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on day passes or from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on an evening pass. Each of these passes is $22. Seniors pay only $20. All of these passes have a five-fish limit. For kids 4 to 13, a three-fish pass is just $9. There are 24-hour passes available each month on Friday and Saturday nights nearest the full moon. These 24-hour passes cost $60 and anglers can bring a spouse and up to three kids to help fill the 24-hour pass 15-fish limit. Camping at SARL is also free with a 24-hour pass.

Corona Lake is cranking out
hefty stringers of rainbows

Heavy weekly trout plants continue to translate into heavy stringers of nice two-pound average rainbow trout, and a few better quality fish are caught each week.
An 8 ½-pound rainbow landed by Jesse Torres, Ontario, was the top trout reported this week. He was using hatchery formula PowerBait from the shore to catch his trophy.
Just some of the nice stringers reported included a five-fish, 13 ¼-pound catch made by Roger Martinez, Covina, on rainbow floating bait. His best fish was a 3 ¼-pounder. Bob Clark and Jacques Million, both Murrieta, had 10 rainbows for 20 pounds with a three pounder on the top. They were fishing nightcrawlers from a boat. Conrad Mallada, Mark Simson, and Jake Anderson, all from Lake Elsinore, landed 12 rainbows for 24 pounds, while Jamie Stoneburner and Dave Sawdey, both Desert Hot Springs, had 10 rainbows for 10 pounds, topped off by a 3 ¼-pounder.
Anglers are mostly using a variety of floating dough baits in bright colors, with the garlic and hatchery pellet flavors top bets. Small jigs and trout plastics have also been good. Adding a garlic scent to the baits or lures had been a good idea.
In addition to the trout, there few anglers targeting the catfish are getting quite a few fish. Bill White, Norco, had five catfish for a total of 18 pounds, including one at 5 ½-pounds, fishing nightcrawlers at the dam. Doug Beerd and Dylan Escobdo, Garden Grove, landed a 14-pound sturgeon.
The lake is open seven days a week with fishing allowed from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on day passes or from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on an evening pass. Each of these passes is $22. Seniors pay only $20.
