[QUOTE="iowafarmer, post: 514449, member: 7792"] We put several fences across a river each year. We use one to two strands of electric wires with the lowest strand of wire 7 inches above normal water level. Then we jsut put in a bunch of old t-posts with insulaters. Works great and is cheap and not much time invested and extremely easy to fix. Another way i saw was if you have high banks on each side was to take a chain that wa sreally big and strech it across the top with small peices of chain hanging down evey foot to the height a little above normal water level. Then it was electrified with a circut on it so that when the water rises it wont short out the whole fence. Not sure if it works though since i have never tried it becasue one bank is always high and the other is always low and it isn't pratical across large stretches. [/QUOTE]
