Look for Petit lac Lusk in Outaouais, Quebec. It stands 359 metres above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 6 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Head to Constance Bay, 9.4 km away, for anything you forgot. The nearest city of size is Gatineau, 24 km away. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.
Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish documented in Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, rainbow smelt and Iowa darter. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Petit lac Lusk responds to conditions more than to tactics.
Long-term averages put July at about 19°C and January near -12°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly early December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. It holds true on Petit lac Lusk more years than not.
Access is not recorded for this water. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lac Wadsworth sits 0.4 km off and takes the overflow. What applies at Petit lac Lusk may have changed since it was mapped.
