Highly unlikely that it will ever be stocked again. If any stocking does occur, it will likely be long nosed sucker.

This is all part of Parks Canada's long term plan of eradication of non native species.

To quote Parks Canada;
"the CFIA would destroy the trout, which are all non-native species that were introduced to Johnson Lake years ago."

Do a search...in Banff alone, Devon lakes, Hidden lake, Rainbow lake and Cascade creek and Moraine Lake have all been targets of efforts to eliminate non native species of fish.
