What i was surpised to find out is there can be a real concentration of sinkers
in one place. A place like the bottom of a pool near a dam.

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
