overwintering pond grasses - sink 'em?

I have taken to sinking most of my pond plants for the winter but am
unsure if that is best for the grasses.

Which grasses? They may be hardy in your area and not need sinking.

My pond is 40 inches deep and I keep a bubbler in it to maintain a
hole in the ice. We are in zone 5B in Southern New Hampshire.

I sunk the Creeping Jenny yesterday but not the grasses. Last year I
brought the grasses inside put them in plastic bags in a cool corner
of the basement and they all croaked.

The probably suffocated and rotted in plastic bags. There was no air
exchange.

The hardiness zones of most pond plants can be found somewhere on the net.
I remember a good site but didn't bookmark it. :-(
