I'm a total amateur so take this with a grain of salt.  But I got one coho yesterday in amongst the pilings below that pumphouse thingy below the highway 7 bridge, using this fly:

an olive leech with a bit of flash, size 6 or 8 or so.  That's the only time I've fished Nicomen though so hopefully someone else will chime in.

Well that one was my first ever on the fly and my first this year.  So that shows the depth of my experience.   ;)

Here's some of my favorite coho flies. Can't say for certain if they work in Nicomen because I've only ever fished there once but they work in other places quite nicely.
