Dear Mr. Cerny,
Thank you for your email concerning the use of lead lures in nationalparks. The recent announcement of the National Park Service aboutlead-based hunting and fishing equipment focused on halting the use ofthose items in our own activities, with the ultimate goal of removing leadfrom the environment. Before any restrictions are placed on fishermen orhunters, parks will follow a process that will include notification ofproposed rules and the opportunity for comment by interested members of thepublic. I have sent a copy of this email to Superintendent George Prices at CapeCod National Seashore for his information, and to let him know of yourconcerns. Thanks for your interest, and for your support of the National ParkService!

Sincerely,
Phil SheridanAssistant Regional Director,

And the truth shall set you free.....

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
