I use this. We don't have a fence so when we play outside I put the dogs on that leash.
Get a long line and let her run around that way. Even the most affectionate of dogs can change. This should be long enough, though I'm sure there are longer lengths. Just be sure you use a harness with this.
Has she encountered small children and men often enough to feel comfortable around them? Strange men can be quite intimidating and children can be erratic and unpredictable.
Keep her in a position to succeed and only let her off leash in secured areas. You should also work on bomb-proof recall so you can call her away from strangers in the event that this occurs again.
Your lab will love it. Get some flea and tick prevention from your vet. I got some at walmart once and put it on my dog and he went nuts like it was burning him or something. Freaked me the hell out too so I pretty much just get the tablets now from my vet. They are expensive, but they don't make my lab act like he's being burned alive.
Most animals won't approach you. If you are worried get some bear spray, that should ward off any critters.
If you are worried about recall and your pup chasing something get a 30-50 ft lead/leash. I have both of those sizes in 5/8 inch widths and it works well when i want to let him have some freedom in parks and fields around my town but can't let him off the leash. In heavily wooded areas it might not be feasible, but it is a decent option. My guy was around 8 months when I took him to a cabin in the middle of the woods/by a lake and he took to it as well as you would imagine.

> I've tried fetch, and sure, he'll chase the ball, pick it up, and then run right past me with it.
Try playing fetch while he's on leash. I picked up a super cheap 50' lead on Amazon for $12 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Y909RG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Having him leashed while teaching him how to fetch worked wonders. If he runs past you can gently step on it and then as a bonus reel him in which serves as additional recall training.
My pup's around the same age, just turned 6 months, and now I can play fetch with him off leash in the yard. He doesn't always come back (still a work in progress) so I bring a coffee out with me and just sit and wait. After a minute or two he gets bored of the "keep away" game and brings the ball back to throw it again.
Stick with it! It sounds like you're on the right track with everything. 6 months is a really frustrating time. They start to hit puberty and just get sort of stupid and forget all the rules they just learned.
Please don't use any e-collars, nine times out of ten they are misused and only confuse the dog and serve to make the issue worse.
Dog Runs are secure, safe, and cheap to replace when they rust or become weak. This would be a great temporary solution while you work on come when called training.
I never, ever recommend a dog be off leash in an area that is not contained by some sort of physical boundary. That being said, I understand that plenty of people do this and it's a fairly common practice. To work on come when you'll want a long leash and two people. One person stands the length of the leash from the other and you both take turns calling the dog and giving lots of praise. Use treats, but give them out randomly. If you teach your dog they get a treat when they come they may not come if they see you don't have treats (like in an emergency situation). The other thing is never play 'chase' with your dog. It's fun. The dog loves it. You probably love it. Everyone loves it. But in that situation where you really need your dog to come right away they may not be able to tell the difference and think you're playing a game.
Use the dog run to confine your dog to a physical boundary for the time being while you train them on come when called. For added challenge you can start adding in distractions once they get really good, like having a third person toss a tennis ball in front of them or placing favorite toys along the path to you.
