• Where to Fish on Andrews Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Across Tuolumne County, recorded fish include rainbow trout, brook trout, Sacramento sucker and bluegill. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Fish Andrews Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 60°F; the cold one sits at 28°F. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. The season on Andrews Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. You can camp about half a mile away, going by the mapping. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Branigan Lake at 0.6 miles is the nearest alternative. Nothing here settles the position at Andrews Lake for certain.
