Grand River calls for cuts to water use October 01, 2007 The Hamilton Spectator (Oct 1, 2007) The Grand River Low Water Response Team, which includes municipalities, businesses and Six Nations, is asking users throughout the watershed to voluntarily cut their consumption by 20 per cent. The persistent hot, dry weather has left low flows in many of the rivers and streams in the Grand River system. Last week, members of the response team declared the watershed to be in a Level 2 condition. A report showed that rainfall throughout most of the watershed has been half of normal during the past three months. Water stored in the Grand River Conservation Authority's major reservoirs has also fallen below normal levels for this time of year. If dry conditions continue, the GRCA may reduce the amount of water it releases from the reservoirs on a daily basis by about 15 per cent. During a Level 2, the Ministry of the Environment sends letters to everyone permitted to take more than 50,000 litres of water a day out of a river, stream, pond, or well and asks them to voluntarily cut use.

....I've learned that when it comes to generosity Wayne seems to know no bounds!

....Sweet.

....Spend more, much more!

"What fishins really about" ....Perfect!

....Ditto....

....Thanks for a great morning read Wayne. You've obviously had a busy yet enjoyable summer. Got to admit to being impressed by the tubing Granny.

....Very nice Joey. Can't imagine anything more special that watching fall come to northern Ontario whilst away on holidays.. Fall, my favourite time of year.

....For sticky glass or graphite ferrules you can rub them with parrifin wax and to solve loose fitting ferrules use bees wax.

....Yep, what Roy said. My Grandfather taught me that many moons ago when all flyrods had metal ferrules.

....Parisite uh, well there's a name that'll stick! Welcome, glad to have you on board.

....Ah come on Garry, the weather is finally shaping up for some fall steelie fishing and 100* anywhere is too hot. That being said thanks for the report.

....Congratulations Brian. I applaud your efforts. I'll post the cheque a.s.a.p.

Applause, applause.

.....Incredible, I'm gald you were able to recogonize a potential problem Iceguy and keep an eye on them. Could have been a disaster had you not been near by. Also glad you and your partner Magnum did not become victims of the big lake.

....Rain what rain? Skies are clear and blue here Chris but I guess if you got rain we'll be getting it here later today.

.....Oh my, seems I've slept in. Oh wait, it's Saturday I'm allowed. Mornining folks.
