Lake Cania marks the stunning start to this journey, located in the North Burnett right on the fringe of Cania Gorge National Park. Stock impound permits are required to fish here, but you can drop a line in from the edge of your boat or on the shore. Lake Cania is known for its Saratoga catches but other species you might be lucky enough to snag include bass, golden perch (yellowbelly), silver perch, eel-tailed catfish, spangled perch, eel and snub-nosed garfish. From Lake Cania it's a good idea to venture through the Cania Gorge National park and take in the sandstone monoliths and authentic landscape, make a pit stop in Monto and take in the remarkable bottle and grass trees that dot the landscape, say 'hi' to the Bunyips at Mulgildie then divert off the Burnett Highway to come across Lake Wuruma.
