I have an MSR Miniworks as well and have had no issues drinking water after putting it through the filter. I have had the rate of flow reduced by not cleaning off the filter part with the scrubbing pad, however. Make sure you clean it between trips and don't put the intake near the bottom or close to shore. Jon

My buddies and I ice fished the Islands about 5 years ago. Having done well in the spring and fall from a boat, we thought it would be worthwhile. We got nothing and haven't tried ice fishing there since. Jon
