Reviews & Reputation

Review Highlights

Rusty Myers Flying Service gets overwhelmingly positive reviews from guests. Multiple reviewers call it the best fly-in outfitter they have used after trying several others. Guests show strong loyalty and satisfaction, and say they would not consider going elsewhere for a fly-in fishing trip.

Guests consistently highlight the quality of the fishing. Reviewers describe near-constant action, with walleye ranging from 15-inch fish up to the 24-inch range depending on the spots fished. The operation gives access to around 10 outpost destinations, including Wabakimi Lake, which has been featured on outdoor television. Reviewers praise the staff and ownership for professionalism and hospitality, and one calls them "a class act."

Reviewers raise no recurring complaints. Every reviewer gave the highest rating and expressed enthusiasm. The operation suits walleye anglers looking for a classic Ontario fly-in outpost trip, from fly-in veterans wanting a reliable operation to first-timers looking to make the fly-in experience a reality. Groups of fishing buddies and those interested in remote, self-guided outpost-style trips are the core audience.
