Amik outposts

[kyle]

Heading up to blackbirch lake with this outfitter the 18th through the 25th, anyone had any experience with amik, and how was your experience? Hope fishing is as good as advertised. Any info on colors and lures for this time of year??

kyle - i think they go by "Canadian Flyin Fishing, Inc." now. we've been to two of their lakes - springpole for 11 days and shearstone (before they got the shearstone LUP it was a portage-in lake with excellent adventures out of their brownstone lake outpost). in any event, they are the "high priced spread" and are not ashamed to admit it but they really deliver the service. they have a motel right at the base that enables you to fall out of bed and onto one of their otter aircraft. their cabins are very well maintained and the lakes - especially the northern lake like blackbirch - get nothing but rave reviews. i would highly recommend them. ask bruce or deb or john or rena for references for blackbirch and also do a search on this site. the old saying that you get what you pay for applies to these guys. good luck, Phish

Is there more than one "Blackbirch" lakes north of Armstrong? I know that Northern Outposts just opened one about 180 miles north. Is this one for Amik Ouposts the same lake? I thought the one from Northern Ouposts was the only camp on that lake.

Northern Outpost's,Ryans Blackbirch Lake is a completly different lake from the one talked about in this post. Ryans lake is north of Armstrong,the lake talked about in this post is north of Red Lake

Thanks Larry. Are you flying out with NO. If so, when and where are you going?
