Did the DNR ever follow through and stock Lake Michigan with Brook Trout in 2020?

Brook Trout in Lake Michigan

I caught one back then too (80's). It was not a splake, like my friend caught ice fishing in Bay de Noc. I fish Kewaunee and caught a whitefish on a flutterspoon trolling for kings once too. I fished for coasters (shore oriented brookies that are native to the cold waters) by walking a miles long beach on Lake Superior, dragging a planer board 'till it got out a ways from shore. Nothing bit the small spoon I tried.
There were Brookies in Lake Michigan waters in the mid 80s. An ex girlfriend caught one while we were fishing the Sturgeon Bay canal. I also remember seeing them caught in the Oconto harbor around the same time frame. Also saw them caught at the Kewaunee Nuclear Plant outflow - when we could still fish there.
