On my experience, Ryze doesn't really counter Fizz. But neither Fizz counters Ryze. What happens is that Ryze is very weak early, something Fizz can take advantage to kill Ryze and potentially feed himself. Not only Ryze is squishy early, but he doesn't do much damage due to having little mana. However, once Ryze starts to get tanky, Fizz loses all his advantage over Ryze. Late-game, Ryze obviously wins. To win early game, Ryze needs to play safe.

Ryze is a counter, but only at late-game.

It's very like the Kha'Zix matchup against Ryze. Kha'Zix can kill Ryze and take advantage of his early weakness. But once Ryze gets a RoA and Frozen Heart, Kha'Zix will lose.

Ryze is not the best counter against Fizz for the reasons above. If you are not good with Ryze or is not sure about how to win, don't pick Ryze against Fizz. Pick another champion.

The only matchup I have lost hard as Fizz is Riven. Damn Riven, she is impossible to win, if you try to Q or E on her she will just stun you and combo. She can easily dodge Fizz ultimate with just her E and she does too much damage, not to mention ther shield.
