Field note · Minnesota stocks by year, not by truck day: walleye fry go in within weeks of ice-out, fingerlings and yearlings mostly in fall, and stream trout in spring and fall. A row here means the fish went in during that year; DNR adds the year's rows after the fact, so the current year can look empty until winter.

Catch per net (CPUE) is the DNR survey's count per gill net or trap net set; higher means more of that species were sampled, not a fishing forecast. Top species per gear shown; where we have no verified common name for a DNR code, the code itself is shown.
A standard survey of Lake Andrew was conducted in late June of 2024. A targeted survey is generally used for sampling a specific kind of fish or time of year (i.e., spawning season, fall season, etc.) unlike a standard survey which samples a wider range of fish species during the summer months using standard methodology (i.e., standard time of year, set sampling stations, taking water clarity readings and oxygen/temperature profiles, etc.) and gears (i.e., lake survey gillnets, trapnets and possibly spring electrofishing for Largemouth Bass). Other sampling conducted in 2024 included June post spawn electrofishing for Largemouth Bass and fall electrofishing for young of year "YOY" Walleye. Andrew is a moderately sized (736 acres), moderately deep (26 feet maximum), and low to moderately productive lake located in Kandiyohi County. Sibley State Park is located along the north and northwest shoreline areas. A bible camp is located along the east shore. Residential development (132 homes, 2010 survey) has occurred throughout the entire shoreline area with the exception of the northwest portion of the lake. DNR public access sites are located along the south and northwest sides (Sibley State Park) of the lake. A shore fishing pier is located along the north shore in Sibley State Park. The immediate watershed is a mixture of large hardwood stands, wetlands, agricultural row crops, and residential development. There are 14 inlets and an outlet (Shakopee Creek). Water levels were low in the spring, high in the summer and normal by the fall of 2024. The largest inlet usually flows continuously from upstream lakes (Norway, Games, Swan, and Henchien) into the northwest side of Andrew. Lake Andrew is connected to several periodic winterkill (Henchien, Swan, and Middle) and non-winterkill lakes (Norway, Games, Florida) via Shakopee Creek and various small inlets. Nutrient levels (total phosphorus=0.010 ppm, chlorophyll-a=3.7 ppb) were low during June of 2010. Dissolved oxygen levels were near or above 5.0 ppm at depths down to 23 feet during the summer survey. Water clarity (secchi=10.5 feet) was excellent on July 9, 2024. Emergent vegetation (bulrush) is abundant along the northwest bay and north shore areas of Andrew. Various submergent vegetation species (i.e., bladderwort, coontail, sago pondweed, Canada waterweed, bushy pondweed, flat-stemmed pondweed, muskgrass, clasping-leaf pondweed, northern milfoil) are frequently occurring within the littoral zone ( Andrew lies within the larger Chippewa River Watershed District and sub watershed of Upper Shakopee…
