Dredging the creek behind my neighborhood, but the mud is too thick.

We had heavy rains this spring, and now the creek is full of thick, sticky mud. I'm using a standard suction dredge, but it keeps getting clogged. I've tried adjusting the flow rate, but no luck. Maybe it's just me, but this stuff is like glue. Any tips for handling this kind of sediment?

What kind of pump are you running with it? That sticky mud can overwhelm smaller motors real fast.

Actually, pump type matters more than motor size with mud like that.

So what's the actual pump model?
