About Black Moose Outposts

Black Moose Outposts has been giving people unforgettable fly-in fishing and moose hunting adventures in Northwestern Ontario for over 50 years. The outfitter started as Viking Outposts in 1969. In 2021, we took over the legendary Viking Outposts and have been building it into the region’s first premium fly-in outfitter.

From the moment you board our floatplane to the time you relax in your cabin, we make sure your fishing or moose hunting trip is smooth, fun, and unforgettable.


Our vision at Black Moose Outposts is to be the first name that comes to mind for anyone seeking a fly-in adventure. We strive to give every guest an unforgettable experience with loved ones while making it easy to focus on what matters most, whether catching trophy fish or enjoying a successful moose hunting trip.

“Nothing short of world class”
My time there was above expectation across the board; from watching the most spectacular northern lights framed by the floor to ceiling windows of the lodge to fantastic fishing and a successful hunt in great company. All of this while the spruce and golden aspen reflect off Critchell Lake as a backdrop. I felt beyond fortunate to be able to be part of the experience.”

“Simply the best”
After decades of fishing at Black Moose Outposts, I can say it’s the best outfitter around! Every trip is a thrill, whether I’m catching pike or just enjoying the view. The staff are friendly and always helpful. Flying to the cabin is always awesome, too! I can’t wait to keep coming back for more fishing adventures!

“Bull down on day 4”
Booked my first ever moose hunt with Black Moose Outposts in Septemeber 2022. Bull came in on a cow call on day four. You could hear him charging in from over a mile away, stepped out perfectly broadsided to 200 yards. Nice big bull with lots of meat, flew the quarters out the next morning, freezer is stacked.

“203 Fish in one week”
Fishing at Black Moose Outposts is incredible! Every year, I get the thrill of catching bigger pike, and I always leave with great stories and more fish. The beautiful scenery and cozy cabins make every trip a joy. If you’re looking for an exciting fishing adventure, this is the place to go!

About Nate Herbert

Nate grew up in the bush around Red Lake, spending his childhood hunting, fishing, and learning the land the northern way. He worked alongside his dad in their family forestry company until the opportunity came to purchase his own outposts and build something of his own. With a passion for the backcountry and having started flying floatplanes at just 17 Nate set out to turn the things he loves most into a way of life. That dream became Black Moose Outpost, where his hobbies of flying, hunting, and fishing became his everyday job. Today, Nate runs Black Moose Outposts with his close team and his dog Nanook welcoming guests to experience the northern wilderness that shaped him.
