Pipestoneflyguy Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Took a quick look at the regs when home for lunch but didn't see anything.....prolly went through too quick - having a conversation about how to easily identify lead in streamers without ripping apart the fly (cardboard method) - anyway nothing I ever needed to think about cause I tie my flies for both Ab and the Park so I have never used lead... What exactly are the regs for lead in flies/streamers etc etc in Alberta - just curious if its legal or not for those lead wraps on streamers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Rob, From what I understand, there is no specific regulations outside of a national park and lead is totally legal to use in AB!!

Pipestoneflyguy Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Wow - that's as surprising as the fact that barbed hooks are still legal in the Park (which is in the process of changing I hear...) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as waterfowl hunting, they run a wand over the bird to make sure you arent using lead shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
