I use Water For ENB and have never seen this. It's going to be difficult to pinpoint the cause without a load order to look at and what version of Water for ENB you are using.

Which ENB are you using?

Do you use LOOT to sort the your load order?

The mod should be as low as possible.

I use nat enb weather plugin with PRT 12.
I use vortex and sort with built in loot.
When you say low do you mean before as many things or after?
in terms of dependencies I have it before dyndolod resources, after nat weather plugin, skyland aio and smim and before rallys all the things. I downloaded water for enb like a month ago so I am using a pretty recent version.
I am also using the ussep and locations patches.

Ok Thanks for the detailed answers. In answer to your question yes lower means load after. There is a but in this case. As Water For ENB is an ESM file it will always load before esp. Still you want it as late as you can.

Having new lands mods (ESM) below it isn't in itself a problem. But can I ask where the location is in your video is to rule those out?

My current suspicion atm is one of the patches Ie Shades of Skyrim/Darker LOD. Are they all up to date not in terms of you have the latest version of the patch. Rather it is for the version of Water For ENB that you use.

Edit: I am not familiar with the ENB you are using, but some mod users have reported problems with water reflections. Have you tried disabling them in the ENB ini document?

I am near kynesgrove by the shack beside the creek. This issue is consistent in Skyrim.
I installed shades and darker lod through the fomod installer so unless the author has not updated that there should not be an issue.
I am using NAT with the PRT 12 preset. I do not know where water reflections are exactly in the ini but I played around with some things but it has not worked yet.

Perhaps there is a genuine bug with the mod or a conflict with the ENB. Try disabling reflections=0 See what happens. Should be located in your game directory Skyrim>enbseries or enblocal

Thing is I have used this combo in the past and it worked for me.
I do not know where exactly it is. I do not see a straight reflections option under reflections or water.
