In the pictures the yard area between the pond and river are 100 feet to give you an idea. I dont think heavy equipment is much of an option unless a long drag line? I can hire three tough hard working laborers for $10 per hour? I cant find if a suction dredge and sediment bags are really an option?

What do you experts think?

Thank you!

Yaakmt, would it be possible for you to pump water from the river to your pond during dry times? I realize water rights can be a major deal out West, but it sure seems tempting with the river so close.
