• Where to Fish on Lac Andre

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. County-wide records name northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and fallfish. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. The shape of Lac Andre decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -18°C to 16°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Time your trip to Lac Andre by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac Renaud at 1 km is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about Lac Andre if anything is unclear.
