that was a great trip report and kudos for giving your time and energy to such a worthwhile project!!
i took interest in your idea about fly-in to outpost cabin and canoeing from there??
i receive info every spring from Mattice lake outfitters and one of there northern most outpost camps offer's Brook trout fishing where a large river enters northern part of lake.
i've thought about seeing if i could fly -in and paddle up to fish for Brookies and paddle back and fly-out with camp visitors??
sounds like something to pursue??
To many places to go, and not enough time or money to see them all :'( :'(!!
