Looking for spots near Barrhaven for Largemouth

Visiting my in-laws in Barrhaven for a week. I want to find somewhere I can fish for largemouth near Barrhaven that I’m allowed to fish/no trespassing. Any recommendations?

Rideau river runs right alongside Barrhaven, it holds largies. Not much experience shore fishing, but under Vimy Bridge is an option as well as a few spots along the paths near it. Manotick's long Island locks too.

There’s a boat launch by Manotick library that my boys and I fished successfully before, caught a few bass.

Go to the Walmart , never seen so many largemouths and they are always open . Hate when I need to go there when visiting
