The shape of Sing Creek rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 18°C; the cold one sits at -20°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Winter slows the flow and edges it with ice; the open runs keep fishing where the current holds. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. It sets the rhythm of the year at Sing Creek.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Cottle Lake is 5.5 km distant. For Sing Creek in particular, ask before you travel.
