Whenever beavers are in the mix it’s gets real fun real quick. My duck hole had a levy pushed around with several pipes for drainage. Just pulled one and the beavers will be along soon to play games. Beavers used to dam it up and it was too wet to plant except maybe late summer and some millets thrown in.

Our beaver pond is natural, no levies. This past july/aug it got just dry enough to spread some millet where the water had been standing. It turned out awesome and the ducks loved it.
The harder I practice, the luckier I get.

This is how you do this.....
You let the beavers do all the hard work building the dams. Then you bust a hole in dam. Install a riser box taller than their dam. Put all the boards in.
They build it back around the riser box's outlet pipe placed through their dam... you just place the box in the deepest part and a little further back from the dam so that they don't pile sticks in front of it when they re-build.
Late summer kill the beavers. I have never NOT been able to kill every one in a pond with a few 330 connibear. Pretty simple task IMO although some are going to argue that it's tough to kill them. I think I agree in larger bodies of water but in a little beaver pond like we are talking about as a duck hole... easily done IMO.
When you are ready to drop the water and plant pull the boards. Throw Jap Millet on the mud. Add a board or boards to the riser to achieve your desired water level and re-flood your beaver pond progressively as the duck season goes.
Beaver gets back in there just clean sticks out from around the riser box, throw in some boards and just bring the water all the way back up and don't worry about it again until next August.
BUY THE BEST POTATO FORK YOU CAN FIND TO PURCHASE FOR BUSTING AND WORKIGN ON BEAVER DAMS. Best tool ever for dealing with a mess of sticks.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
