I've been hesitant to reply to this post, but can't help but ask this question but - seems to me it wouldn't be very difficult to make a float for a 3" or 4" gas trash pump to float on, as well as making a sort of dust hood that skims along the bottom. The pump could pick up silt and water, wash it up on shore and then the water could filter back to the pond through a row of hay or straw.

Could maneuver the suction skimmer using rope from shore or maybe use a makeshift boom mounted to your skidloader or other. When you're done, you'll still have a good trash pump and the hoses. Also, you could check with local fire departments to see if they have any old hose that needs replacing, or maybe that you could borrow in exchange for a donation (if it's volunteer).
