My guess is Curly Leaf pondweed - not American pondweed, due to the more slender and curly appearance of the leaves. Also, American pondweed leaves will lay down on the water like a Lilly-pad more than grow up and out of the water like the leaves in your photo.

I prefer American pondweed over Curly leaf as it's less dense - not sure if CLP can become a management issue - but experts can help guide here.
