So I own some woodland property now with a murky stream on it. Years ago, the army core of engineers used to dredge it out but now that I own it, they don't do it and obviously I don't have the kind of equipment necessary to get rid of all of the bullshit and sediment thats compounded over years of fall weather. Basically, if you wade into it, you sink 5-6 feet into rotten leaves and sediment before hitting a clay bottom. All kinds of black nasty shit gets stirred up and the only thing that lives in it are snapper and painter turtles.

I wanna regain some life to the stream, maybe one day have fish in it or something. How the hell do I take care of all the leaf litter though?

What other streams & rivers does it connect to? Are you sure there are not already fish? How fast does it flow?

flows extremely slow, its hooked up to a meadowland which drains out into a bay, which then leads out into the atlantic. but it's freshwater/slightly brackish where i'm located. it was used as a place to pump excess meadow water in to when flooding occurred, however i've never seen it run dry since so i'm assuming it's fine. I've never seen fish, only turtles

That's normal. It is what streams are supposed to do in your area. There are fish in it. They are what the turtles live on. Without proper machinery you shouldn't be doing it.

Pour about 400 gallons of bleach in it

You just need to plant a marshy wetland upstteam to filtet the water.

Do some research on permaculture streams
