I was Hermitage early this morning (5:30 ish, I don't think the park s officially open yet). I did well with a strike indicator and a red worm pattern. I had more "hits" on the Orange bio strike indicator than I did on my fly but still landed 4 in an hour, the largest was around 11 inches.
I think Hasse has been totally dead for a couple of years, not worth the trip.
I have never been to Vegreville, so no help there.
East Pit is fun. There are a few large fish in there and the bottom is pretty solid so I normally wear waders. I waded without waders once and pulled leaches off my inner thigh when I got back to the parking lot. Damsel fly nymphs work well there.
Cardiff may interest you as well although when I was there a few weeks ago a 6 inch fish would be an improvement over the two I caught there. They don't put very large fish in there .
I think I have a free pass for some fishing tonight , may try Chickakoo and/ or Muir.
Good luck!
