Has anyone ever made a pond weed rake attached to an extension boom on a tractor? If so any pictures of it?

Not really. However I have used chain link fence with a home made(wired on) metal frame. We walked it out into the water and used a tractor to drag it out. It's work but it certainly does the job.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Yes I have one on a 20 foot boom. It's the spring arms off of an old hay rake. Works great, if a little tedious to move back and forth. It'd be a lot more usable if the tractor it was attached to had shuttle shift.

Removing any large quantity of weeds is real work. I have not seen an easy method that will work on a pond.
