• Where to Fish on Lac Andre

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brook trout. The county list is broader than any single water. The shape of Lac Andre rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 17°C; by January the average is down near -16°C. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. The season on Lac Andre rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Lac Marthe is 1.1 km distant. Confirm access to Lac Andre locally before you travel.
