I don't know how good a dragline would be with digging in heavy clayey soils. The previous owner supposedly had someone come in and try to dig the pond deeper with a dragline. Supposedly they could only get down so far before they couldn't dig any deeper. In roughly 1/2 the pond by the end of summer I only had 2'-3' max water depth.

When I renovated the pond, the excavator had a hard time digging thru the clay/gravel mix in certain areas.....

But it sounds like the perfect tool for softer/wetter soils.
