Lake Andale Fishing Guide, Oakland County, Michigan

• Overview

  This water sits in Oakland County, Michigan. The country round it is rolling bush from end to end. About 4 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Oakland County. The town to know is Troy, 1.9 miles out. For a city, Sterling Heights is 5 miles off. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Lake Andale

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Oakland County records list bluegill, black crappie and largemouth bass among the fish reported. The county list is broader than any single water. Lake Andale fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 72°F, the coldest about 23°F. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Look for the thaw near late March; the fishing lifts straight after. The open-water window runs from around late March to about late December in an average year. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. That shapes the year on Lake Andale.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. A slipway half a mile out gives trailer access. A car park sits roughly half a mile away. Turtle Woods Preserve covers this ground, which means extra rules to check. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Emerald Lake sits 0.1 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Lake Andale should be assumed from this page alone.
