Fishing Andrew Lake in Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Set in Manitoba, this is Andrew Lake. The bank is 346 metres above sea level. At about 30 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Shoreline comes to about 3.2 km, small enough to learn in a day. Kenora lies 57 km from the water. After that come Lac du Bonnet at 70 km and Moose Lake at 77 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Andrew Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. At Andrew Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does. Where the bottom hardens, fish tend to hold.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -19°C and July at about 19°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Open water usually runs from late April until about mid November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Anyone fishing Andrew Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, North Cross Lake at 2.8 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Andrew Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
