Paging deltaland. Lake Help needed.

Are you still in Inverness area? I need some help with a lake and you are the only one I can think of that could possibly help me in the area. You want to come see it.
1) filamentous algae- I don’t know the species but I fight it every year and spray multiple applications of Cutrine Plus a year.
2) do you know where to buy tetracycline? I can find it but it is always small amounts for aquariums and small Koi ponds. I tried Aquacenter in Greenville but they were no help.
Have seen a bunch of bluegill with this and I believe it is a bacterial infection, but you might know better. Saw several dead shortly after the 1st spawn also. Almost all were mature/larger fish.
If anyone else can help, please do.

We have a few Bream that show the same sores in our lake.
I do not fertilize when we have an algae bloom
I am interested in any help as well
Salvinina is my major problem

I haven’t had to put fertilizer in the lake in 3-4 years. One of my problems is that they put underground pipes draining into the lake. When the yard gets fertilized the run off for about half the yard goes into the lake. I mainly battle the clarity getting too low and having to drain and add clean water.
* Anyone that builds a lake, make sure not to let the contractors do that crap.

Have you contacted Dr. Wes Neal with Miss State University?
Dr. Wes Neal
But since you are so so close to Stoneville, contact Dr. Jimmy Avery with the Trad Cochran National Warmwater Aquaculture Center. The center has fish disease & water quality-weed control experts that can assist you.

Can you dive a little deeper into this?
Lower clarity is actually the best defense against too much algae, I'm sure Crawdude would agree.

Good idea. I forgot about those 2 options. The main reason for my post was asking about the antibacterial medicine.
The ideal clarity is 18-24” when it gets too low you have a much higher risk of blue green algae or long periods of clouds the planktonic algae can die and deplete oxygen levels.
The issue is when it is 18-24” the filamentous algae can grow is the 18-24”. It is more of an issue when trying to fish along the shore or shallow structures.
