Several years ago the science students at Moultonborough Academy along with our state rep. got legislation passed making lead sinkers prohibited on NH inland waters. The law is in fill effect this year, I think.

Please tell your guests that fish to "get the lead out" of their tackle boxes.

Remember a loon doesn't know the difference between a lead sinker and a small stone (that they use for digestion). One sinker in a loon and in two weeks you have a dead duck!
