Default Lead weights in pond OK ??

OR just tie the darn thing to a rock?

In Fleet Farm this morning I saw a resin sculpture that is a boat with
a couple of frogs in it (one reading, one napping). It comes with a
lead weight on a length of fishing line to anchor in place. Lead
weights are bad for fishing because fish eat the weights that fall off
and get killed. This weight is large enough that no fish could eat
it, but I'm not sure if just having it in the water would be toxic?
Would the fishing line pose a problem?

Thanks,

I would be reluctant to have a bare lead weight in the pond. It will
probably not poison the fish, but why take a chance. You could wrap
the lead weight in a couple of layers of polyethylene garbage bag and
be quite safe.
