Ban on lead sinker sales in NY State

I'm glad you guys posted this. I'm headed back to upstate NY next year and
would have been chunckin n winding an fishing with the dang thangs. Now I'll
make a more concentrated effort to move away from lead weights.... as soon
as I use up the 8million I have in my worm hook box. g

Hows about a ban on lead bullets instead?

Lead bullets? Who hunts with a rifle over water? Lead shotgun shot is
already banned in most places.. The so called problem is with ducks and
Loons eating lead and dying...





I fish therefore I lie

No, but you should be able to find quite a bit of research if you google or
yahoo "mute swans" "Thames" and "lead".
