• Where to Fish on Lac Andre

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. The shape of Lac Andre decides where the fish sit.

  On the long-term average, July reads 16°C and January reads -18°C. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May.

Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Andre.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac Pasteur, 0.9 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the current arrangement for Lac Andre.
