It's still odd that Alberta Environment lists these Lakes as Upper and Lower Champion on their stocking map and NOT as Champion (Sunken Lakes). This is also the case in the stocking report documents where these lakes are Referred to as Upper and Lower Champion Lakes. While the regs refer to the lakes as Champion (Sunken) Lakes. So it seems to me even official sources contain some degree of confusion (though less than the AFG).

A little consistency in nomenclature would go a long way to resolving this.

I'm actually surprised this isn't a put and take fishery since I would assume these lakes are prone to winter kills and it is only stocked with rainbows.
Yes they would be the same lakes/group of lakes. They do this in multiple situations in the regs where they refer to a group of lakes and then refer to them individually elsewhere like on the stocking reports. They expect you to figure it out and usually it is easy enough except when ABFG has the wrong information on it... I used to use ABFG a lot, now I avoid it.

Asking AEP for simplicity and common sense is a lost cause... Many of their stocking decisions and stocked lake regulations make zero sense...
