Los Alamos Daily Post 

The State Department of Game & Fish stocked several lakes with kokanee salmon last week. Kokanee are a land-locked species of sockeye salmon that spend their entire lives in fresh water and do not migrate to the ocean. The fish are stocked as small fry just 1.5 inches long. They are  hatched at Los Ojos Fish Hatchery from eggs gathered at Heron Lake and Navajo Lake. 

They live 3-4 years, then spawn in the fall and die like other Pacific salmon. During their spawning there is a special snagging season. The best fishing is at Navajo Lake.  Read More
