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.

Fly In Recommendations? (reply)

Was there in August 2023 at Lake Wapikaimaski, first week of August. After dark the bugs definitely showed up and we got off the water. 14 foot V-bottom boats with a 9.9 Yamaha, don't plan on going anywhere fast. We targeted walleye and you don't have to go far to catch a fish. Back-trolled 90 percent of the time with bottom bouncers (6 to 8 foot bottom bouncer with a 2oz weight). Bring a fish finder and battery. Bring extra rope and make your own anchor, they didn't have any at that time. The flight is cramped with 8 guys; 8 guys came out to 60 lbs a person. They take care of food and water.
