Lake Andrews, Maine: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lake Andrews stands in Androscoggin County, Maine. The ground around here is mixed forest. This is a pocket water of some 3 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Androscoggin County. Head to Lewiston, 0.7 miles away, for anything you forgot. It is 99 miles to Manchester, the nearest city. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lake Andrews

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Species logged across Androscoggin County include brown trout, rainbow trout, Atlantic salmon and smallmouth bass. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. At Lake Andrews the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 69°F; by January the average is down near 19°F. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Look for the thaw near early April; the fishing lifts straight after. On average, early April opens the water and mid December closes it again. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. On Lake Andrews that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Records show no boating, which makes this a bank-only water. Page Parking Lot offers parking about 90 yards from the water. Toilets show in mapping about 0.9 miles away. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Taylor Brook at 2.9 miles is the sensible second choice. The position on Lake Andrews is worth confirming on the day.
