*For location specifics, view the Los Vaqueros Watershed Map (PDF).

**About King Salmon: King salmon have been stocked only four times at Los Vaqueros. The Department of Fish and Wildlife planted fingerlings at Los Vaqueros in 2004, 2005 , 2007 and 2009. Salmon don't breed at Los Vaqueros. Unless salmon are stocked again, it's unlikely we'll see this record broken.
