Yellowstone Lake and Lead ???????

[Old_Coot]

[black][size 3]I am planning a trip to Yellowstone Lake this weekend and would like to target some lake trout jigging using tube jigs. But since lead on the terminal end (such as leaded jig heads) is not legal, I need to find some way to get my tube jigs and hook to sink without using lead. Any suggestions?

[font "Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"][size 1]yeah you cant use lead in yellowstone that is a bummer. you cant use anything that is toxic. i make my own jig heads. so before i go to yellowstone i whip up a batch of biologically safe jig heads. it makes it nice to fish with them and not have to worry about getting caught.

Sounds like you need to get ahold of jr8fish, except that could be a problem because he hasn't logged on since April.

bass pro shop makes some lead free jig heads but they are the round head type and painted.

Let us know how yellowstone goes. I hope you get in to em.
