On 2014 05 1 & 2, I went turkey hunting with Ron on the properties he has access to down near Jasper ON. Ron did the guiding duties. It is excellent turkey habitat and we saw many birds. Ron worked hard and had the turkeys coming to his set up. On the second morning I shot a nice jake out of 3 that came in on his calls. Ron is a knowledgable woodsman and an accommodating guide which ensured we had a successful hunt. Martin.
I have been out fishing with Ron 3 times and each time was better then the last. We went out yesterday and we ended up with 2 pike and a nice Muskie. If your looking for a great time on the water and a chance to land a muskie give Ron a call. I will be going out again next summer for sure.
You must do this activity if you are in the Valley area.The four of us had never musky fished and we had a blast! Two close calls with two monsters almost in the boat. It was a beautiful sunny day and the temperature was perfect. Ron is a great guide, easy to get along with and has some great stories and jokes. So stop reading this, pick up the phone and call Ron to book as he books up early!
So we bought a Groupon deal to do a 6 hour fishing trip with Ron at Irish creek outfitters in January 2014 to plan for a fishing trip in the summer of 2014. In January we contacted Ron and booked a trip for end of June on the only weekend when all four of us were available. A month before the set date, I contacted Ron through telephone and email to inquire regarding what we need to bring and what type of fishing license and details regarding the trip, and received no reply. I re-attempted around 6-7 times to contact him through email and phone and again, no answer. Finally, 2 days before the set date, he sent a quick email to say that 'yes the date is confirmed'. Having the confirmation, we bought the Ontario fishing one day license for that date. Then, 12 hours before the set fishing date, he contacts us through email to tell us the fishing trip is cancelled because his guide is unavailable and that we should reset another date. We told him that this is the only weekend that worked for us since we have friends coming from out of town to attend, and that is why we booked 5 months in advance, but he offered no solution and just said there's nothing he can do. Not only did we waste 14$x4 on the fishing licenses, but all my friends' arrangements coming from out of town and booking bus tickets are now wasted. Not only did Ron not answer the 6-7 emails i sent him, but cancelled 12 hours before our trip. very unprofessional. we are VERY disappointed.
The most fun ive had fishing in awhile, My dad and i went out to renfrew and met up with ron and in about 5 minutes we were already throwing casts. The guys an expert on muskie fishing and a great dude to talk to, lots of stories and lots of laughs. My dad lucked out and caught the muskie while i had caught a nice pike earlier in the day. Then he brought us to a little rock island and cooked us lunch on the bbq. If your within driving range of renfrew, this is an absolute must and i can tell you we will be coming back next season.
We spent the Family Day holiday out at Irishcreek Outfitters, and we had a great time! Unfortunately none of us caught a fish, but that's why they call it fishing & not catching! They were were friendly and very helpful, and every hour or so, they would come check on us, see if we needed anything etc.. Was a great day, and would go back for sure!Matthew Baker
Showed up and the huts immediately exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this place for an all around great ice fishing experience. Nice people, great huts, good fishing, will come back!Eric Murray
My girlfriend and her daughter and friend and my daughter and I went out not sure what to expect. Ron was very personable and put us at ease right away. He was very patient considering we got lost on the way, and very quick. No time was wasted, we were on the water before we knew it. It was so exciting catching the biggest fish I have ever caught in my life and I think he was just as excited about it. He did an excellent job of cleaning it for us, did not come across one bone, and it was delicious. Thank you for a beautiful day. I would recommend this trip to anyone. Thanks again Ron
We had great fun and loved learning to fish... The hours flew by and there was never a dull moment. The highlight was catching a large pike and stopping off on an island for a little BBQ. Ron was a great guide and made the day relaxing and enjoyable for us all.
We had a great time. Ron was the perfect host. He took good care of us. Two mothers and three girls out for the morning fishing. Cathy caught a big Walleye on the Ottawa River near Bonnechere River. Family and Friends, July 2014
