All the clear running creeks that run into the Muskwa are good fishing (I once caught 3 Dolly's(Bull Trout) in 3 casts, one was 17lbs and the other 2 were 16lbs. This was in the Spring, at the mouth of Sheep Creek.
The fishing in the Tuchodi is very good, from the Mouth (into the Muskwa) all the way up to the upper Lake. I use mostly Flys in the river, and Spinners or Jigs in the lakes (white or blue works well)
Hunting in the Morning/evening, and fishing during the day makes for a pretty good trip.

Hey RockDoctor if you are up the Tuchodi between Sept 15 and Oct 15 stop in for Coffee. We are up there every year and camp just above Deaddog Creek. Just looked at the Video's you have on Photobucket and it brings back good memories.

Always willing to stop and warm-up, especially once October rolls in. Is there anything specific about your camp that I could use to pick you out of the croud?
EG, Camo Dome Tent, or Color of your Boat, ect.

1/2 mile upstream from the mouth of Dead Dog creek rite across from the first gravel bank. Usually 4 boats parked in the back water.
wow...that's all i can say...looks and sounds like paradise. pretty sure i'm gonna be planning a trip up there eventually.

I enjoyed your Tuchodi River video posting Rock Doctor, seems like quite the rush. The dialogue that is posted to this thread has created a few questions that I would like to pose to you and Tuchodi.
(1) What powers your boats, inboards or outboards and is there a preference? The distance from Dead Dog Creek confluence to the Tochodi confluence with the Muskwa is approximately 32 km, (2) do you travel all the way from Ft Nelson to the Tochodi R or do you use some other drop in point? I'm thinking fuel logistics here as that is a considerable distance from Ft Nelson, it's even quite the distance from around Steamboat Creek or Tetsa River, close to 100km to Dead Dog Creek I would imagine.
(3) Do you have a fuel cache along the way and if so, how do you prevent someone from dipping into your supply or is it just 'good ole backwoods honor system? With 20 to 30 boats torquing up and down the river, that has to add up to a lot of fuel, maybe some one should set up a gas station.
(4) And last but not least, do you know the story behind the naming of Dead Dog Creek?
".....It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Trudeau government than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their prime minister......"
I have asked that question myself and the only person ever to give me an answer was Don Peck(Trapper and Guide) who lived up on the Tuchodi as early as the 40's, he said it was named by the Indians from that region but didnt know the exact story.Originally Posted by Jagermeister
