Thanks, Pat! You are a blessing to society!
I have an idea. How about a grappling hook on a cable attached to the trailer hitch of a truck? I'm thinking that throwing it in the water past the pesky phragmites will snare them by the roots when pulled back up the ramp by a truck. That will pull them up by the roots with leaving few remaining roots to grow back. Then they can be chopped up on the above water part of the ramp and hauled off without fighting them in the water. You've battled these ferocious phragmites, so you might have some good insight into a grappling hook design. I can fabricate one (or more) for you as my contribution to the fine folks here making the lake better.
