They are large, heavy, and laden down with steel,: like, 8 feet tall and weigh a ton with no dexterity. Also, something about aversion to nature (they are vat grown, not born).

• TEotW,Ch19 - Trollocs and Fades loathe deep water. Neither can swim. A Fade will not wade anything more than waist deep, especially if it is moving.

In short, it's not a production plot hole, but a feature of the creatures explained in the book.

You'll need to talk to Jordan about that. He wrote that part into the books.

And not just from the books. Vampires can't cross running water. It can destroy them.
