Fishing on Andover Lake is a popular recreational activity that allows members to enjoy the lake while helping preserve its natural balance. The lake is open for fishing year-round for members only, and all anglers are expected to follow Connecticut DEEP fishing regulations, including holding a valid fishing license and complying with seasonal limits, size restrictions, and approved methods. Andover Lake is a motor-less lake, including during ice fishing season, meaning gas, electric, and battery-powered augers are not permitted and all augers must be manual. Catch-and-release is encouraged whenever possible to support healthy fish populations, especially for larger or breeding fish. The use of live bait must follow DEEP guidelines to prevent the introduction of invasive species, and all unused bait and fishing line must be properly disposed of. By following these common-sense rules, everyone can help ensure that Andover Lake remains a clean, safe, and enjoyable resource for years to come.
