Calabogie flyfishing almost over but not quite

I've been doing quite a bit of fishing at at new lake, or rather a lake I haven't been to in over 10 years, maybe 15.  It is hard to find a lake in the area that you can actually catch some fish.  Over harvesting is definitely an issue but trout survival also plays a factor. 
This "new" lake and one of my favorites nearby have recently been invaded by pumpkinseed, no doubt from some idiot using a minnow trap and releasing them.  MNR is greatly concerned.  If any of you catch a sunfish in any of the trout stocked lakes, please take it out.  They greatly decrease the small trout survivability by eating all of their food.
Above is a male who is starting to get its belly colour.  Obviously I am fishing in Zone 18 but that is the only hint you will get.
After a rainy day on the water this past Saturday (because of friends), I stopped at a Rainbow lake that I haven't had much luck in recently and after about 45 minutes lucked into a 22 incher.  There aren't any fishers out there these days  even on Saturdays.  I wonder why? (don't bother answering, I know why)
