Reviews & Reputation

Summarized Review Highlights

Rusty Myers Flying Service receives overwhelmingly positive reviews from guests, with multiple reviewers describing it as the best fly-in outfitter they have used after trying several others. The overall sentiment is one of strong loyalty and satisfaction, with guests indicating they would not consider going elsewhere for a fly-in fishing trip.

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

Based on the available reviews, there are no recurring complaints or concerns to report — every reviewer gave the highest rating and expressed genuine enthusiasm. It is worth noting that the review sample is small and skews positive, so prospective guests may want to seek additional sources for a fuller picture. This destination appears best suited for walleye anglers looking for a classic Ontario fly-in outpost experience, whether they are seasoned fly-in veterans wanting a reliable operation or 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 seem to be the core audience.
