They stocked it once already back in mid to late october.  I know last year they stocked it around the holidays and once or twice after that.  As far as depth I can't remember what we were getting.  I was by there earlier today on the way home and it looked nasty.

They have stocked banner twice this fall. They will stock it through the ice around early or middle of January from what i understood. Ill tell ya that if you are ice fishing for them trout, dont fish in the deeper water that can be found there and if you do, fish no more then one or two feet below the ice. Those *lake* hatchery bred trout will cruise the shallows and really never go depper than a few feet especially in the cold months. Also if you can find good weed cover in about 3-5 fow, thats the ticket. Although by the time they stock it in the winter most of the vegetation will have disapeared. Kastmasters and sooper dooper spoons worked best. And most of the time you dont even need to add meat.
