He made what looked like a sled that was tied to a rope he would wade out in the water and hook the sled rails into the dead cat tails at the base and his buddy would drag out the wad of cattails with his tractor
I dunno... When I cut my off even below the water level they come right back up again. It's Round Up for me from now on. Once they turn yellow I cut them off and remove with a weed cutter.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
