well good news and bad news...  i hit the nick today and fishing was slow.. still managed to land five  cutties... all were the regular 10-12 inches... <<and the bigg ones are in there>>  must be  llots of food in the system cause they all were real fat... was a good day none the less... and the bad news... was reeling in my rig and i felt something.... soon felt like a snag but it kept coming as i brought my line in...  i snaged a small spin caster... some kid had his hook across the stream  in the trees across...  i see there's a vedder  river clean up would it be even worth trying to do one for the nick...

Organizing a river cleanup is quite easy. Start small and let it grow. The first few Vedder River cleanups were attended by dozens of people. Today they are attended by over 200 people each time.

My recommendation would be to contact the Nicomekl Enhancement Society first. Although their primary project is operating the hatchery, they occasionally do other stream-related projects such as tree planting. The hatchery can be used as a meeting place for cleanup volunteers.

Stream cleanups are best done in September. It's a good idea to be part of the TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup.

Good to hear some cutties were caught.

Believe it or not, bread works great in that river for Rainbows and the loads of carp..

There are also some sturgeon in there too. Most are under 3 feet.

[CohoOn!]

I have a bud that claims he catches trout all day long with bread....cheaper than worms!

[coho_killer]

Man i've fished this stream for years and never caught a sturgon nor a carp! let alone see one! And never caught a hatchery trout of any kind in there either! Lots of very small trout/smolts and the odd coho mind you i hooked a really big chum this year on my lil trout setup thats all i use there and works great! Where do these carp you guys speak of hide? i'm guessing the lower cause i fish the upper and like i said never seen one! And theres seems to be alot of pumpkin sunfish in there and i've even caught a flounder in there too!

 What are catching the pumkin sunfish with CK

[oddjob]

How big are these pumpkin sunfish in the Nicomekl Fiver ?

[coho_killer]

The sunfish are not all that big but they seem to inhale my worm everytime! thisyear i've cought more than years past! I know they do not belong in this system but what do ya do? I'm not the kind of fisherman to just throw them into the bushes thats just crule! But there must be something! Now where are these carp hiding again? I fish around 184 st and over the past 10 plus years never hooked one!

The sunfish you are catching ,are they caught still fishing under a float or are you casting and winding back slowly  ?

 What part of the river were you fishing?

[oddjob]

 Can you catch now or are they mainly a summer fish ? Is the Nicomekl clean , what I mean is would you eat the sunfish from that river  ?
