Is this a recent problem? We've had a lot of rain recently, which has raised the level of the lake significantly.

Over the sunny weekend, heavy boat wakes had churned the newly-raised lake level against sediments washed from driveways and other elevations up-slope.

Presently, lake water is showing marked turbidity near shore, which could be clogging your filter. (And, even after back-flushing, may need periodic replacement anyway).
