Location Information
Nichols Reservoir, another anglers favorite, is located east of Rampart
Reservoir. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout and Snake River cutthroat. Bait fishing is permitted. Public access to Nichols Reservoir is by foot only and is accessed by trail (.5 miles long) from the parking area at Dikeside Boat Ramp. This area is only for day-use fishing, and camping is not permitted at this reservoir. Many special rules apply to this fishing site because it is a reservoir for public drinking water. Please see rules and regulations.
