"I used to work at a Upjohn Pharmaceuticals (now part of Phizer). The technician who maintained the water filtration system said that they would never drink filtered water. Tap water was much better. They said that According to them, you simply cannot built a proper filtration system small enough to sell has a home kit. A unit that small would only make the water worse. Since this is what they did for a living; I beleive them when they say that tap water is better than filtered water." How can you honestly believe that? When was this told to you??sounds like more then a couple years ago. In my opinion pure water is 10 parts per million or less. If tap water reads at 250 and pure filtered remineralized water reads at 004,how could that make the water worse?

They are a migratory fish...in one place one hour gone the next.When the water gets freezing temps they will stack in the deeper pools but right now its not nearly cold enough-a 1 pounder the other day was strong let alone a 7. I fished 5 pools perfect condition no one around and got 1 each pool. With a good rain not like this week there sould be more in the system bigger ones too IMHO

no the company name is Pristine Solutions

Actually the big pools they were jumping around us couldn't hit nothin. All of mine were where the tail out is-anywhere the deep water starts to get shallow...BAM lookout.Again good quality fish producing lures did nothing.

I was on the river today(close to you) between 10-2 with a friend and he was using lures with no results.Pink worms got me five. biggest was 7 smallest was 1.No pictures guys batteries dead.

"That`s why I don`t shock my water, I prefer to just plain ole drink it!" 80% of people I've seen(friends and family included)tell me they don't want to know whats in the water-just like my father told me after seeing the tests-ignorance is bliss

"We call that "seasoning" down here in the South."- classic Hello DouG, I tried to pm you but it won't let me. My name is Matt and my company is Pristine Solutions. The "shock test" as we call it solidifies the total dissolved solids in the water.That could be anything from a metal to a chemical or pesticide anything other than pure water. That is just one of the four tests we do. I've been testing peoples tap or bottled water for a week now and the amount of TDS varies from area to area. If you would like a independent water test let me know. "Are you SURE you didn't just put Hamilton Harbour water in a glass?"- Rich this is tap water and don't forget about the bottled water "That's normal, isn't it? ...Guys?...." - All the TDS in the water is within guidelines it is not going to kill you tomorrow, and remember each area is different. QUOTE(douG @ Nov 7 2008, 09:27 PM) It that's an electrical treatment, what you have done is to remove dissolved metal salts like iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. And cadmium, lead and mercury too, but that's another story. Mercury is good for ya!!! ... ever seen what happens to a thermometer on a hot day?... does the same thing to Mr. Wiggley!!! LOL where do you get this??

Hello everyone, I don't post much but I do enjoy a lot of the reports this board has. Anyway I just got a new job with a company that sells a high tech water filtration system. Now when they showed me the tests they do (theres 4) its was unreal...heres some pics of my tap water.Have any of you seen this before??? Now these were shocked with electricity, no chemical or anything other than electrical current. The one on the left is my home tap water and the one on the right is a brand of bottled water. Side view After being stirred Soup anyone??

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I'm from Orangeville so I fish Georgian bay areas never cared much for lake Ontario. But yea I was using big weights/swivel then some froghair with floatin and sinking eggs but got nothin all day yesterday nothing caught from anyone else either. Oh well gotta pay the dues. Like you say anders is a waiting game with this type of fishing-on shore winds,good clarity but they weren't there.Its a good distance from the river mouth so maybe I should be closer or at the mouth who knows.Again thanks everyone.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if any one had some advice on beach fishing for steelhead. Is it a good time of year right now?(I don't think so because the majority of fish should be in the river already,right?)How big do you tie your eggs-is bigger better? And also would you prefer floating eggs or sinking ones? Thanks for your time.

So after sept. 30 there is no catch limit for nottawasaga steelhead between the boyne and the pine?Are you still allowed to catch and release??
