From Teens to Grandpa, everyone is smilin' at Amik Outposts!
Sore mouth stew is the soup of the day lately here at Amik Outposts, fishermen have been coming smiles of anticipation and leaving with smiles of an awesome fishing trip! Fishing and weather have both been great, giving every fisherman or woman an awesome tan! Some groups coming out today said that this year was the best yet! Walleyes generally are in 10 feet of water or less, Shearstone reported catching lots of fish in 5 feet! Here are some highlights from today.
Shearstone had a great bunch fishing it this week consisting of the Beaird and Johns families. They had some big stories to tell this morning with big smiles on their faces! A 17 year old elated Hilary caught the biggest walleye at 26.5 inches and 14 year old Dillan caught a 39.5 inch northern. They have done a number of flyin trips with a number of outfitters and by far this year was the "best fishing and best cabin yet."
The Huson party fished Cherrington for 4 days and came out happy as heck! There was two 17 year olds in this group and guess what... they caught the biggest walleyes! Kevin had a 26.5 inch and Alex had a 24 inch walleye. They stated that 90 percent of the fish they caught were 19 to 22 inches in length and they caught a lot. Those are nice fish!
Findlay lake had some long time guests stay there this week. The Glasebrook/Burm father and son teams have been fishing with Amik since 1989 as far as we can figure, a few years longer than Rena and I have been around! They first fished with us when we had a main lodge on Deer lake for a few years and moved over to Findlay when it was built in 1993 and haven't missed a year yet! Nothing really big this year but plenty of quality was caught and released. Many walleyes measured 19 to 22 inches. They were happy to be back and sad to leave, just like always...
Vee lake had the Evans party visit this week for their annual trip and they said that this was the best walleye fishing they have ever had! So many big ones have never been caught as this week on Vee lake for this veteran crew. Ron took all the money as he had the biggest northern measuring 42 inches and an absolutely huge walleye measuring a fat 29 inches. Gary caught 6 or 8-24 inch walleye in one day. The most fish over 20 inches they have seen yet on Vee in some large numbers.
Here are the pictures from D. Hoene on the Cobham last week. Some pretty fast action on the fly rod in 4 feet of water.
Another one!
60 of these in one afternoon!
A vicious attack!!!!
Mike was not to be out done by Dick with this nice fish.
An average walleye for this old hockey player!

2009 photo contest!
We are once again having a photo contest for guests of Amik Outposts. If you have been up fishing with us this season please pick your best pictures from your trip and send them to us for an opportunity to win a trip for 2010! You can send us a disk to our U.S. booking office or send them by email to info@canadianflyinfishing.com We have had the majority of our customers leave us their pictures when they come out of our outposts just so they can prove the tall tails they are telling! Just a reminder to those guests who have good ones to share.
Here is last years winner. It was taken on Vee lake last year and this year the Dietz family will be heading to Shearstone lake for another adventure!

Blackbirch Lake, A perfect place to unwind and catch some Big Ones.
The Tom L. crew headed to Blackbirch last week and did very well. First time on a new lake sometimes takes awhile to find yourself a honey hole, but these veterans of the bush had no trouble finding a couple of reliable spots in addition to catching fish everywhere else they tried. Sand beaches seemed to be the order of the week on Blackbirch. The fish were on the windy shore but more prevalent where there was a sandy shoreline.
Here are some pics.
We got an early start on the way in but got delayed 8 miles from Blackbirch with fog for 2.5 hours :(
There were some big northerns caught. Here is a 42 inch!
The Rookie with a 40 inch northern pike!
A beautiful peaceful morning. This is one of my favorite things.
Not sure on the size of this one but it looks like at least a 26 inch walleye to me!

Shearstone Lake
Scott J. and his family fished Shearstone last week and caught some great fish! Here is a nice 26 inch walleye but it was not the biggest they would catch...
They were close to getting this monster northern pike in to the boat attached t-bone style to supper!
Another camp pet. Remember not to leave your fillets on the table too long, they may disappear.
Here was the fish of the trip! 27 inch walleye!
For once Dad caught the biggest fish but everyone caught a lot. Here is mom doing her part for the fish fry.
The girls caught lots of fish and had a blast. They were all smiles on the way out.

More Big fish pictures!
The weather is still great and we have more new pictures to share this week as I get time. Fishing has been awesome and many exciting stories/memories await me at every lake! It feels good to be able to see so many people having the trips of their lives. It is not all about the fishing, definitely, but it sure helps to have caught the biggest fish of your life
Does this guy look like a hockey player to you? I have known him for a long time and we have traded a lot of hockey war stories over the years. Dick has a reputation as a bit of a wild man on the ice hmmmm, just like someone else I know. LOL The group that is in Cherrington right now are also from Colorado and knew quite well of and played against the bruiser from Vail. I would not want to fight him :) It is a small world. He fished the Cobham last week and caught 60 walleyes in one afternoon in 4 feet of water on a fly rod! He said it was so much fun. Pictures to come this week.
Some finely dressed men on their way to Vee lake.
This is the reflection on the water from 4500 feet!
The fog rolled in under the bridge coming off of Red Lake just before a thunderstorm one night.
