I was just looking through the Regs and came apon this one. I know that the use of lead jigheads were banned - but to even have in your possession? :

 

Lead Sinkers and Jigs

It is illegal to use or possess lead fishing sinkers or jigs in Canada’s national parks and wildlife areas. More information is available from the Canadian Wildlife Service

YUP. That all came about years back when some political type found out that a few hundred tonnes of lead were SOLD each year in Canada so he assumed they were ALL ending up in the water. Guess he never thought to ask me or about a million other anglers how many pounds of lead we have collectively still in our possession. Lotsa controversy on this subject but I did find that one mislead fact seemed to be at the forefront for all those complaining.
