I know Leads a definate no no over water because of its toxicity, could be a work around though if you use a water Gun to do it as you can get ones with enough oomph to knock a target over but be the right side of things.

Maybe but as AB says it may now be outright banned under Firearms laws, just tried googling it and it just gave me the stuff on firing on public land, most Lead frees are plastic too so bare that in mind if anythings living in that pond if it does turn out legal.

perfectly legal to shoot lead pellets over water with an air rifle.
it is the use of shotguns with lead shot that is banned over water, unless the shotgun is 9mm calibre or less.
no ties to the link below, but looks like it could be entertaining.

Looks a perfect day to me I would get a couple of rods set up and get them in first and then have a plink.
If shooting into the pond then it may not be a good idea, Them pellets can quite easily bounce off the water.
Can you link to where that's stated please.
I'm wondering if the same laws that prohibit the use of lead weights for freshwater fishing might also prohibit shooting lead into or across water,
I've deffo read that you shouldn't shoot across water but I can't remember where at the moment.
When I was young we all “knew” shooting over a body of water effected the POI. I reckon it was an old wive’s tale that probably originated from not firing at water to avoid ricochets.
