Hey Al,

To aswer your questions, the answers are yes, yes and yes.  ;D

This time of the year they tend to leave the main basins after schooling for many months from mid winter. However you will find them still schooling up and this is when jigging ice jigs and casting blades at them will be effective. Trolling through these areas after finding these fish can also be just as effective.

As for casting, just like most native fish, find structure that is worth casting at, get that lure working at the right depth and I'll sure you'll score a Bass or two. Spinnerbaits can be a great option counting the lure down to where the fish are holding, a quick jerk with the rod to get the lure working and then retreive it in various manners until they start chewing. A technique I like to use is to free spool the lure during a retieval pattern, a lot of the time Bass will hit the lure on the drop. 

Use your fish finder to locate the fish mate and I'm sure you'll have a great time.

Good luck!

Dave

Cania can & does fish ok for bass. Bracey's tips should do well. However dont forget about the fish that put Cania on the map; Saratoga. Can catch them from the boat ramp right up the top of Three Moon Creek as far as you can go.

Can catch them on lure, spinners, spoons, jigs, fly, plastic or bait. Spinners work a treat if you're not of the long rod persuasion. If the bass are in an edge bite mood you can get both species on fly, spinners, blades, rattlers, divers .......

Be off the water before dark, the phantom gnats can be thick as buggery there & flock to a light like moths.

I used to go there hafl a dozen times a year until they introduced gar. Ruined a great fly fishery IMHO.

It's a bit dated but this aticle might help http://www.sweetwaterfishing.com.au/CaniaArticle.htm

Thanks Fitzy
Gnats ???  Are these like sandflies or something ????

They're kind of like Midgee flies. I've bever had a bite from one, but there's millions of them at times & they flock around any light like you cannot imaging. Even nav lights can get swarmed. Motoring will see you cop them in the face, eyes, mouth. Take a face shield...
