Underwater plants need sunlight to get to the bottom of the pond where they grow. If you have TGC in the pond they could be the problem. Crayfish could also be a problem. Geese/ducks can also be the reason why you can't get the plants established. Turtles or possibly muskrats could be the issue with the WL getting the leaves cut off.
