Canadian Jungle Flies - Carp, Bowfin & Gar flies!
Matt Martin is one of Ontario's premier guides (https://www.smoothriver.ca/) and offers a unique experience of freshwater flats for some lesser targeted, but very fun to fish for species! What he fondly refers to as "jungles", include secluded back bays, in the thick reeds and cover you'll find some prehistoric species of fish right at our doorsteps!
