Lac Andree Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  This water sits in Côte-Nord, Quebec. It sits in spruce and muskeg country. Around 28 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. With about 3.6 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. Baie-Comeau at 108 km is the nearest place to stop. The big place round here is Saguenay, 272 km distant. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Andree

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Côte-Nord records list logperch among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Read Lac Andree for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -19°C in January to roughly 15°C in July. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid May. The water is typically free of ice between mid May and early November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. On Lac Andree the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. The nearest alternative is Lac Jackie, 1.9 km out. Signs at Lac Andree carry more weight than any list.
