Craig and Wes,
You've convinced me. I am removing the lead sinkers from my tackle box. I have a collection of several hundred small rocks with holes in them (don't ask) that will require a bit more tying but will certainly be less toxic on the bottom of the pond. While we are on the subject: please remember to pack out every bit of monofilament line, plastic reels for line and plastic or styrofoam bait packaging from your fishing hole. None of this stuff breaks down and discarded birdsnests of monofilament are dangerous to fish, fowl and mammals (ever get that stuff wound around you and try to get rid of it without a knife?), and the other stuff just looks ugly.

With all of the RoHS legislation and everyone in the electronics industry jumping through hoops to eliminate lead from their products, it's amazing that the sports industry appears exempt. Of course, the RoHS directive is EU.

Claes, jump in here and give us the European view on the distribution of lead into the environment via hunting and fishing.

Happy to oblige:) : I don't have a clue about fishing gear, but when it comes to ammo, I expect that we will soon go lead free.

Good Advice

Great Post Icy Mountain,

Besides fishing line tangling and killing wildlife, it will also do a nasty job on your propellor shaft if it gets wrapped around there. Usually a sporting goods shop will accept used fishing line for recycling, so please if you need to dispose of monofilament, or any other kind of line, please recycle.

While I am on the subject of disposal, I was once stopped by the Coast Guard and had my safety equipment checked. They noted that my flares were about to expire and that I would need new ones. I asked what to do with expired flares and they had no answer. After thinking about it for a while, I decided that the flares were hazardous materials, so I contacted the Fire Department. They were more than happy to accept the expired flares and said they would be used in training burns. So please, whatever it is you need to dispose of, try to think of someway to get rid of it in a constructive manner.

Happy hunting and fishing,
Gary

I was in the Nashville, TN Bass Pro Shops store last weekend, and saw lots of lead-free options for fishing AND hunting. One thing I've not yet noticed (maybe not looking hard enough) is a lead-free solution for rimfire rifles and pistols. I like to occasionally plink away with a .22 caliber rifle, but have not seen any ammo that is lead-free. Anyone else?

The trip to BPS REALLY fired up my cabin fever, and I finally pulled my little fishing boat out Monday and started cleaning it up with the idea of fishing again. It's sat neglected for about 4 years. I oughta be shot (lead-free). Time to set priorities straight!

I know exactly how you feel Joe. Finally took a three day weekend and spent it out on the ice up north. Although the perch bite was not hot, they kept us busy. Couldn't buy a walleye though:nope:
