    If its a river where salmon come up to spawn they might ,but to be honeset I'd say you're fairly alright ,as long as you arnt driving a leaking slurry tanker across;)

    In order to have an issue with fisheries, you would have to cause damage or disturbance to spawning fish, or the spawn of fish. Or interfere with their passage, or allow deleterious matter into the watercourse.
    The occasional tractor crossing could not in my opinion cause an issue in the vast majority of locations.
    If you wanted to PM me the rough location I'd be able to answer more precisely!
