If Louisiana is a state which allows lead tackle, the fact of it being a fishing hole is likely causal wrt lead pollution.
> A recent Canadian study (ECCC 2018) stated, “An average Canadian angler can lose 11 to 15 jigs and sinkers per year while fishing due to snags and other reasons. This adds up to about 460 metric tons of lead jigs and sinkers lost every year into Canada’s lakes and waterways. This represents the most significant source of lead releases into Canadian waters.”
