I would not want too do that.... with all the snow and such it would cave down the sides and cause more work for you in the spring... Are you thinking of doing it that way because of the frost depth??
If that the case you could try it and cover it with ply wood or something...

Spring is probably best, but hopefully we'll be totally redoing mine this fall!
It'll probably be hard having to wait until springtime huh?

Digging in advance is recommended by one of Portland's premier water feature builders.
Aamon Hughes.
That's if there will be a built-up area of soil for a small fall.
He said that the soil will have a chance to settle with winter rain, allowing for less settling after the fall or short creekbed is installed.
If it's just a pond, or a tiny raised water course to the side, then you should be fine digging next year.
