A few months back, my wife and I closed on a piece of property. The property has a year-round stream on it, though it is fairly shallow; the deepest part of it is probably a 18" under normal conditions with a nominal depth of 6-8". I'm thinking of using a mini-excavator to dig/dredge out a portion of the stream to make it deeper, as well as digging out a deep pool. My goal is a large/deep enough area to sustain fish, using the moving water to keep everything from becoming stagnant.
Has anybody done this before?
Does anybody know of any legal issues doing this with a stream on your own property? FWIW, our land is not classified forestry or watershed.
Access to equipment/competent operator is not an issue.
Thanks!
