The invention involves raking out weeds, dead plant material, algae etc. from a body of water. The method comprises providing a rake head 10 with a float 70, floating the rake head and float into a first pass starting position above an aquatic bed, disengaging the rake head from the float such that the rake head sinks toward the aquatic bed, raking the rake head over the aquatic bed toward a first pass finishing position and re-engaging the rake head with the float ready for use in subsequent raking passes. The method may further comprise attaching a gather line to the float, attaching a winch line to the rake head and pulling the rake head and float towards the first pass starting position by way of the gather line whilst paying out the winch line. Also disclosed is a rake arrangement comprising a rake head, a float and means for disengaging the rake head from the float
