While we're here would anyone know if it's safe to drink boiled
lake/river/canal water?

Jim.

I should imagine river is better than canal or lake. You can buy water
purification tablets from some camping store. You still have to boil the
water really well and for use in an emergency only. Safer to take fresh if
you can. You could run the risk of Leptospirosis amongst other things.
Believe me that would serverely cock up your fishing. 8-?
