• Where to Fish on Andrew Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Survey and observation records for Comox Valley Regional District include Coho salmon, sockeye salmon, rainbow trout and Chum salmon. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Take Andrew Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -1°C in December up to 12°C in August. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. At Andrew Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. A phone call first saves an afternoon. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Cream Lake, 1.3 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Where Andrew Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
