[QUOTE="lewy, post: 362016, member: 142"] I used to dredge back when they were legal, had a 3 keene which I did pretty good out of.I dredged a private part of the Turon river near Sofala with the cockys permission. he used to come down and remark about how he couldnt tell I had been there as I only dredged the running water, The turon is a very fast flowing river and there is little mud\dirt within the banks to stir up with the water that entered the dredge just as clean when it left, Had a six month break during which time dredges were banned and the cocky showed me what happened when he let another person on, they worked in around trees [100 year old oaks] undermined the bank muddied up the water etc, Next flood trees and banks disappeared downstream this is why they were banned. Dont think they will ever be allowed again better to try and keep what we have now even if we have to confront those doing the wrong thing,Cant understand people putting pics of their weekend efforts on forums showing the big hole they dug on the bank.
