Not much for catch and keep shore fishing within an hour. Trout ponds are the main options, lots of them just look at the stocking reports/stocking map to figure out where to try. Lots of them are likely struggling from winter kill and won't be decent until they get restocked though.
There is the odd spot you might be able to catch a keeper pike at but most of those lakes are much better if you have some sort of boat. The few shore spots I know of are so small and limited I don't feel it is fair to share them online. You can find them easily enough by looking in the regs and seeing which lakes still have open limits then researching the accessibility on google maps etc. The extra time/effort to find your own little sweet spot is well worth it.
