Don't rake it on the bank unless you want it growing on the bank. It grows in and out of the water. It can grow by setting roots or free floating. It is a big pain in the arse! If is nearly imposible to completely get rid of it once it is in a water body. This is why it is important to inspect your boat and trailer after you are done fishing. One little sprig of this left on a trailer, boat, live well water is enough to become a big problem. I also suspect that birds could be spreading it as well. Not good stuff.
