is making a rock bridge bad for a river?

[@@@]

My friends and i got bored one day and piled a bunch of rocks across part of a river. Is this bad for the river or anything?

Nope I did the same thing when I was younger. The upstream side will be better for fishing

Yeah stacking up rocks in the water is awful for the enviroment. You should be ashamed. Its not like that shit happens naturally or anything. :bluecool:

So long as it doesn't completely alter the course of the river should be fine.

depends on how deep the river is. Since it's a "one day we got bored..." situation, I'm guessing the water was fairly shallow, which means it was probably moving pretty fast. This means it's likely fish aren't hanging around in there, so it shouldn't be a problem.

You probably killed some helpless worm in the mud below though, you bastard!

Don't do this, you'll end up flooding the flood plains nearby. Think New Orleans.

Then again, Trouts like water with a bit 'o flow in it, they stay in the calm spots behind rocks, and pop up to the surface to snatch whatever bug is floating down stream, so if there's Trout in the stream it's a bad idea.

But I guess we'll never know if it has had an impact on anything...

Contrary to what you may initially believe, it won't actually do anything, other than offer a deeper section on the upstream side and an obstacle for any fish wishing to pass. If the 'river' was tidal, it'd be another story.
