[Smallmouth Master]

1. I have a creek behind my house that I believe is spring fed. I want to make it deeper and wider, but don’t know how to. Does anyone know a way to increase the size of a creek
2. I plan on stocking it with smallmouth bass. What would be good forage to stock and how long should I let the population grow. I know that there are some green sunfish and creek chubs in case that helps.

if it is fed from or feeds another body of water you'd better check with USACE and ODNR first

There are so many state and federal laws regarding wetlands, I would just forget about any ideas of rerouting or introducing new species to a natural creek.
