Well I just got back from the area & I did visit the Outpost Lodge as planned. Ann & Jim were very nice.  I really liked the place & the option of a canoe trip on the very beautiful Missisagi - we may go as a family next year.  The cabin that would suit my family is very nice & has a great view of the lake & faces north for aurora viewing.  I don't know about fishing, but my son caught 2 smallmouth in the middle of the day from the dock area while I was getting a tour of the camp.  Jim said hitting fishing at dusk is most productive.

PS: I attached a view from the lodge.
