Boating
Andover lake is one of the cleanest lakes in Connecticut. One
reason is because NO motor boats are allowed. Actually no boats
with propellers in the water are allowed. Only row, paddle or
sailboats are allowed.
Fishing
Andover Lake offers some of the best fishing in the state of
Connecticut. COME JOIN THE FISHING FUN!!!
Fish species available to test
the anglers skills include: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass,
Chain Pickerel, Black Crappie, Brown Bullhead, White Catfish,
Pumpkinseed, Bluegills, Redbreasted Sunfish, and Yellow Perch.
Most anglers practice "Catch
and Release", thereby ensuring an excellent fishery for
future generations.
Although the lake is for ALPOA
members only, all State of Connecticut, Department of
Enviromental Protection (DEP) rules and regulations, as defined
in the yearly Anglers Guide, are applicable and enforced. This
includes, but not limited to, the size and number of fish takes,
as well as then need for a valid CT fishing license for anyone
over 16 years of age. The Anglers Guide is distributed with the
purchase of a fishing license, which can be purchased at any Town
Hall's Town Clerk's office, Sports Shop or K-Mart.
Andover Lake has no "closed season" and is open
to fishing year round, providing great fishing opportunites from
a boat or from a shore for the novice angler as well as the more
experienced angler.
