Rumblon,
How deep is the lake? What is the temp? Can you use Tilapia?
What have you tried?
I have found Tilapia does a good job for us in Texas, but you are not in Texas.
Your choices are predators (eaters), chemicals, or mechanical.

Currently its approx 12 feet at the deepest but its down now as its late in the year. It approx 4 feet deeper until late june.
NO TALAPIA, This is snow country and it freezes. I really have not had the time or funds to do much. This is 175 acres and Im building everything out of pocket because I dont want a mortgage. I bought the land 13 years ago and had the pond done 10 years ago. So here you need a fish permit from the state to get fish from a hatchery. So I dont really want the state involved and they would want a cement barrier that is unneeded because this is run of and spring fed from underground springs and no creek. It runs off into nothing but a field when its over flowing which if for several months. That said Its also against the law to catch fish in a public waterway and stock your pond. But it is legal to fish a private pond. So because I have been building a shop, small cabin ect I have not had much time to do that much fishing on private ponds. Last year I caught three bass at a private pond and threw them in. This year it appears I have literally thousands of LMB fry. This year I purchased a diffuser system and vertex diffusers which are recently going.
I have started to ask around about a bluegill pond to fish so I can bucket stock some of them. Somehow I also somehow have some channel cats in here as I found a dead one last year.
I am working on the pond now more than ever.
and landscaping.
