Nice find.
Its a Potamogeton but somewhat unusual: however with no fruits evident, that's as far as ID can go at the moment. I recently found very similar plant in a TSR and will go back in late spring, hoping for fruit. perhaps you could do the same.

Fingers crossed. The area may dry out before fruiting
