Friend gave me all his fishing drift nets.
Seems a game warden told him they were illegal because it had lead weights on it.
I've never heard of lead weights being banned for fishing.
Could just be a local thing, or the game warden just didn't know what he was talking about.
It's not uncommon for le here to make up rules on the fly.
Go to court to challenge, le loses, they come after you for something else to show who's the boss.
I still see lead fishing sinkers for sale all over the place.
We have to compete with them for scrap lead all the time.
Anyone ever heard of anything like this.
I did get a good amount of soft lead anyway.
