Lac Andry Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  The Côte-Nord entry here is Lac Andry, in Quebec. The surface lies 558 metres up. The water covers around 4.37 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. The bank runs about 37 km in total, split between open shore and sheltered corners. It ranks high for size among our Côte-Nord listings. The nearest place of any size is Labrador City, 196 km away. Wabush lies 202 km off, Fermont another 210 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Andry

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across Côte-Nord, recorded fish include logperch. The county list is broader than any single water. Treat Lac Andry as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 12°C in July and bottoms out near -25°C in January. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. Once it clears, about early June, the fishing comes on quickly. Climate figures give an open season running early June to late October. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lac Andry.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. 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. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Lac Lannefranque at 6.1 km is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Lac Andry before loading the car.
