• Where to Fish on Etang Andre

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Reported across Côte-Nord: logperch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Etang Andre the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 15°C at the top of summer and -19°C at the bottom of winter. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid May. Ice usually gives way near mid May, and forms again about early November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Plan around that when you fish Etang Andre.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Etang Laurent sits 0.7 km off and takes the overflow. Rules at Etang Andre are worth checking on the day.
