Hi Paul I'd assume that a stocked lake would be stocked with farmed fish, which are not wild by definition (http://www.askoxford.com:80/concise_oed/wild?view=uk). Although I suppose you'd might want to establish if they were farmed fish or removed from the wild in the first place. I would also think the Part IIA definition relates to wild water courses, whereas essentially you are looking at a man made/aquaculture situation.
