A Lake Erie operation in Ontario offering summer walleye and lake trout charters and guided ice fishing huts for perch, praised for attentive guides but with one bad cancellation report.
Jimmy Riggin' runs open-water charters on Lake Erie and, when there's safe ice, heated ice fishing huts. Most reviews are positive, from families on their first Lake Erie trip to regulars who head out several days in a row.
On the ice, guests describe a smooth setup: huts with heaters and stoves, guides who check in regularly and restock minnows, and washroom facilities on the ice. First-time ice anglers report big perch catches, including more than 30 in three hours. On one slow day the propane ran out, but it was refilled promptly. In summer, a family fishing with Captain Allen caught walleye and lake trout.
The worst review concerns communication. One angler drove over two hours for an ice trip, having confirmed by phone the day before, only to get an automated cancellation text less than 30 minutes before launch. Ice and weather decide everything here, so confirm again the morning of your trip, especially if you're travelling far.
