Bedok Reservoir\nImage credit: @freshairbabe via Instagram\nFor those who live in the eastern part of Singapore,\nBedok Reservoir\nis where you can try your hand at fishing in a freshwater pond.

Lower Peirce Reservoir\nImage credit:\n@limpat via Instagram\nFishing in a more central region of Singapore is no problem too, if you make your way to\nLower Peirce Reservoir Park\n. As with other reservoirs in Singapore where you can fish without breaking the law, only use artificial bait when you are fishing. The types of fishes that you may catch here include peacock bass, flowerhorn cichlids\n,\nand zebra tilapias.\nImage credit: PUB\nAddress:\nLower Peirce Reservoir Park, near the pavilion \n13. Marina Reservoir\nImage credit: @guerillafishing via Instagram\nFor a fishing experience in the CBD area with views of the cityscape, make your way to Kallang River, along the\nMarina Reservoir\n. As usual, you can only use artificial bait to lure those fish. Fishes lurking under the waters there include the snubnose pompano, hound needlefish, halfbeak, and peacock bass.\nLocated smack in central Singapore, Marina Reservoir proves that you don’t even have to travel to the edge of the island for some good ol’ fishing.\nImage credit: PUB\nAddress:\nAt dedicated areas along Kallang River\nOther than our tip 13 picks, some other places you can consider fishing at include: \nPandan Reservoir \nKranji Reservoir\nPang Sua Canal\nUpper Seletar Reservoir\nGeylang River\nKolam Ayer ABC Waterfront\nPelton Canal\nRochor Canal\nFishing spots in Singapore\nFishing is a waiting game that only those with lots of patience and determination will enjoy.

Meta Description	You don't need a fancy boat to go fishing, just fishing gear and supplies. Here are 13 places you can go to fish in Singapore.
Meta Canonical	null
Boilerpipe Text	Fishing for compliments may be a much easier thing to do than fishing for fish. It takes a whole lot of patience, know-how, and a dash of luck to ensure that your catch is a satisfying and fruitful one. Well, fishing may not be at the top of your to-do list , but it certainly is a hobby for all the enthusiastic and aspiring anglers amongst us.

The designated fishing zone located near Paddle Lodge provides a scenic view of the surrounding greenery.

Pulau Ubin Image credit: @lengahleng via Instagram Live your best kelong life away from civilisation at Pulau Ubin , where anglers can expect to fish in peace without hoards of others in the vicinity.

But for greenhorns, consider it one of the best places to kickstart the hobby, with frequent schools of fishes and a large community of fellow fishermen you can chat with while waiting for your rod to tug. Laojiaos there may even share tips and stories of how they’ve managed to pull up a barracuda shark on a lucky day. Other fishes you can hook here include tambans, jewfish , and stingrays. Address: East Coast Park Service Road, Singapore 449876 4. Punggol Point Jetty Punggol Jetty is a considerably short and small jetty where you can fish at.

But for greenhorns, consider it one of the best places to kickstart the hobby, with frequent schools of fishes and a large community of fellow fishermen you can chat with while waiting for your rod to tug.

Since it is small, expect to have to rub shoulders with fellow anglers as it can be rather crowded. Fishes that you may get to take home with you include grouper, barramundi, rabbitfish, and sand whiting. ![Punggol Jetty Map](https://thesmartlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Punggol-Jetty-Map.png) Image adopted from: Google Maps Address: Punggol Promenade Nature Walk, towards the end of Punggol Road * ### 5\.

Although you are only permitted to fish towards the end of the jetty, keep in mind that there are big catches for you to look forward to. The main species of fish that you can catch here is the barracuda. Anglers there have caught gigantic barracudas weighing up to a whopping 6kg\! ![Woodlands Waterfront Park Map](https://thesmartlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Woodlands-Waterfront-Park-Map.png) Image credit: Google Maps Address: Woodlands Waterfront Park, Admiralty Road West, Singapore 759956 * ### 8\. Changi Beach Park * ![Changi Beach Park - Fishing In Singapore](https://thesmartlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Changi-Beach-Park.jpg)Image credit: @intricatenatur3 via Instagram As a quieter fishing spot, [Changi Beach Park](https://thesmartlocal.com/read/changi-beach-park/) is perfect for those uninterested in jostling with fellow anglers. It is also one of the few places in Singapore where fishing is allowed along the entire beach. Types of fishes that you may be able to catch include brown stingray, sickle fish, javelin grunter, goatee croaker, barramundi, and veined catfish. Not sure which part of the beach to throw your fishing line in?

Bedok Reservoir * ![Bedok Reservoir](https://thesmartlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Bedok-Reservoir.jpg)Image credit: @freshairbabe via Instagram For those who live in the eastern part of Singapore, Bedok Reservoir is where you can try your hand at fishing in a freshwater pond. Make sure that you are using only artificial bait so that you don’t mess up the reservoir’s water quality! You might want to release your catch back into the reservoir to do your part in maintaining the ecosystem there, though. ![Bedok Reservoir Fishing - Fishing In Singapore](https://thesmartlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/image8-min-2.jpg)Image credit: @gobstey\_cast via Instagram Fishes that you may hook include the African walking catfish, armoured sucker catfish, peacock bass, and tarpon – despite the fact that these are not indigenous to Singapore. ![Bedok Reservoir Map](https://thesmartlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Bedok-Reservoir-Map.png) There are plenty of spots to fish at, demarcated by the dark blue areas on the border of the reservoir.Image credit: PUB Address: Along Bedok Reservoir Road, north of Bedok New Town * ### 10\.

Nestled in the Southern end of tranquil Jurong Lake is the recreational fishing jetty where you can try your luck fishing for pacu, soon hock, and peacock bass. Remember not to venture to Lake View Promenade because fishing isn’t allowed over there. Also, keep in mind to only use artificial bait. ![Jurong Lake Map](https://thesmartlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Jurong-Lake-Map.png) The blue line highlights the fishing zone in Jurong Lake Gardens.Image credit: PUB Address: Jurong Lake Park along Yuan Ching Road and Boon Lay Way * ### 11\.

Fishes that you can catch over these areas range from giant snakehead to barramundi. There have also been lucky anglers who’ve caught stingrays that tip the scales at 25kg. ![Lower Seletar Reservoir Map](https://thesmartlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Lower-Seletar-Reservoir-Map.png) Image credit: PUB Address: Along Lentor Avenue and Seletar West Link (Lower Seletar Reservoir), and along Rower’s Bay * ### 12\.

As with other reservoirs in Singapore where you can fish without breaking the law, only use artificial bait when you are fishing. The types of fishes that you may catch here include peacock bass, flowerhorn cichlids, and zebra tilapias. ![Macritchie Reservoir Map](https://thesmartlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Macritchie-Reservoir-Map.png) Image credit: PUB Address: Lower Peirce Reservoir Park, near the pavilion * ### 13\. Marina Reservoir * ![Marina Reservoir Fish - Fishing In Singapore](https://thesmartlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Marina-Reservoir-Fish.jpg) Image credit: @guerillafishing via Instagram For a fishing experience in the CBD area with views of the cityscape, make your way to Kallang River, along the Marina Reservoir. As usual, you can only use artificial bait to lure those fish. Fishes lurking under the waters there include the snubnose pompano, hound needlefish, halfbeak, and peacock bass. Located smack in central Singapore, Marina Reservoir proves that you don’t even have to travel to the edge of the island for some good ol’ fishing. ![Marina Reservoir](https://thesmartlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Marina-Reservoir.png) Image credit: PUB Address: At dedicated areas along Kallang River Other than our tip 13 picks, some other places you can consider fishing at include: - [Pandan Reservoir](https://thesmartlocal.com/read/pandan-reservoir/) - [Kranji Reservoir](https://thesmartlocal.com/read/kranji-reservoir-park/) - Pang Sua Canal - Upper Seletar Reservoir - Geylang River - Kolam Ayer ABC Waterfront - Pelton Canal - Rochor Canal * ###### Fishing spots in Singapore * Fishing is a waiting game that only those with lots of patience and determination will enjoy.
