Fishing at Lac Singapore, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Singapore is one of the Mauricie waters in Quebec. Elevation runs to 418 metres. Leblanc sits 75 km from here and is the nearest stop. For a city, Trois-Rivières is 277 km off. Nearby alternatives: Lac Gabs near enough 1.1 km, Lac Meunier 1.2 km, Lac Du Picau near enough 2.5 km, Lac Gordon 3 km and Lac Anna near enough 3.8 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Singapore

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Across Mauricie, recorded fish include northern pike, brook trout and walleye. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Work Lac Singapore in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 16°C; the cold one sits at -17°C. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. The open-water window runs from around early May to about mid November in an average year. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Lac Singapore runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Lac Gabs, 1.1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Where Lac Singapore is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
