• Where to Fish on Lac Andree

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Mauricie records list northern pike, brook trout, walleye, yellow perch and white sucker among the fish reported. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Lac Andree repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -16°C in January to roughly 17°C in July. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. Ice-out usually falls in early May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. The season on Lac Andree follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. For a change of water, Lac Micheline is 0.7 km distant. Confirm before you fish Lac Andree.
