the only reason there isn't hatchery steelhead in the nicomeckl is because the hatchery isn't allowed to raise steelhead or cutthroat, not because it is being preserved as some wild only river, there have been many types of fish brought from lots of other rivers and introduced in there, and the hatchery is probably the primary reason there is steelhead still in there if only because of the interest and hard work to protect it

grew up on crescent rd.  The nick was across the street lot of  fishing there when i was little not many caught . My bro has been getting coho with small spinners in the fall , I know there are huge carp watched a old polish guy with a corn meal ball hammer some big ones and i believe at the fraser end of the river there might be some small sturg.  Have not fished it in a while but might check it out this fall see whats kickin around. ;)

I fished the Nic in the fall late 70's. I trolled out of my canoe with an orange with black spots flatfish. Caught lots of cutts, a few coho and one wild steelhead. I remember the 'V' shapes in the still water that the coho would make on the way upstream.The river was never busy and very peaceful especially in the morning on an incoming tide. Did all of my fishing below the gate, took my young nephew out with me on occasion.He is now a full fledged fly fisherman and is now teaching his son....life goes on

last year i spent a few hours walking that precious stream. some great little pools and some deep undercut banks..  not worth fishing tho... stay on the major streams...
