[QUOTE="boobook, post: 377939, member: 1605"] I have previously mentioned on this forum about the amount of dredging the Turon a mate and I did in the 1970's. Used a Keene 4" floating dredge, but often had it bank located when we were dredging out a rock crevice running back into river banks. Naturally there was quite a degree of turbidity and we were initially amazed what that brought up to the outflow of the dredge. Big trout flashing in and out of the discoloured water, once a cod, nearly 3ft. long which just lazed on the edge of the outflow for a couple of hours and the occasional platypus. We never bothered to try and net any, they were obviously getting a supply of grubs/worms/whatever to attract them there. Maybe the banning of the motor driven pump will see the re emergence of the old style "banjo" which will still create water turbidity. Ion Idriess, in his 1930's book "Prospecting for Gold", shows some interesting methods of hand sluicing river and creek banks. Mike [/QUOTE]
