An Office colleague loves eating perch. He is looking for a place inside an hour drive from Ottawa for good size perch.
Any recommendations?

Are there a lot of shore fishing spots there in the spring?

That I couldn't tell you, but since there is some portion of it that backs onto park land, I would think that part would be fishable from shore.
I thought the OP was looking for ice fishing suggestions

Lower Rideau is another good spot for perch. Access of yacht club road and head towards the city of shacks.

You'd be hard pressed to find a lake within an hour of Ottawa that doesn't have perch. All local river have them as well.

Last spring they were every where.... I could not fish the bottom with a worm without getting a perch... On the Rideau and the Ottawa.

St. Lawrence river is where you want to be. I don't know about the summer, but when the season opens in the spring you can catch them from the shores of the Thousands Islands all the way to Montreal. In a boat even better but you really don't need it though from what I've seen.
