If you are interested in catching smallmouth or perch, I think we are talking about two different lakes:

O'Sullivan Lake in Quebec is 200 miles due north (as the loon flies) from Ottawa and is great for walleye, pike and lakers but has no bass and few, if any, perch. I think it is too far north for bass.

As for Wardens, yes they do show up and did so last year in the middle of nowhere, but I think that's rare.

The lake is about 75 miles down the Clova Road, bouncy, gravel etc.

Are you going to the O'Sullivan I'm referring too?
