71%Ashby Canal

A proper rural canal stretch from Coton Bridge 40 to Carlton Bridge 44, managed by Ashby Angling Club. It offers mixed coarse and predator fishing, but you’ll need a named club ticket — there are no day tickets or guest tickets.

Kirkby Mallory
Mallory Park Fishery
Mallory Park Fishery
Kirkby Mallory · 1 lakes on site
Mallory Park Fisheries offers members-only carp and mixed coarse fishing around the race circuit near Kirkby Mallory and at The Glebe, Peckleton. There’s a decent spread of species, but get access sorted first — this isn’t a walk-in day-ticket venue.
59%Coventry Canal – Nuneaton Stretch
Nuneaton · 1 lakes on site
A proper towpath canal venue through Nuneaton, with roach, skimmers, bream and perch reported, plus wider-canal chances of pike and zander. The exact fishing rights and peg arrangements need checking before you chuck in.

53%Coventry Canal
Nuneaton · 1 lakes on site
Proper canal fishing through Nuneaton, with perch, zander and plenty of other species listed for Tusses Angling Club’s published stretch. The big catch is access: current permits, prices and rules need checking before you load the car.
Nuneaton
Makins Fishery
Makins Fishery
Nuneaton · 8 lakes on site
Makins is a proper mixed fishing complex near Nuneaton, with waters spread across three phases and options for pleasure, match and longer carp sessions. Lake 1 brings the headline carp claim, while smaller waters and a café, bait shop and overnight accommodation add plenty of choice.
35%Thornton Reservoir
Markfield · 1 lakes on site
Thornton is a 76-acre reservoir near Markfield with a proper fly-fishing history, but the village website lists the fishery as closed and a return to fishing isn't confirmed. Public walks, free parking and the coffee kiosk are a separate matter — don't mistake visitor access for permission to wet a line.
65%Ashby Canal – Snarestone Stretch
Snarestone · 2 lakes on site
A short, permit-controlled coarse-fishing stretch on the Ashby Canal near Snarestone. It’s a mixed-fish canal with bream, roach, chub and pike, plus a restored northern section and a history of match fishing.

53%Birmingham and Fazeley Canal
Tamworth · 1 lakes on site
A proper canal venue around Dog Lane, Amington, with fishing forming part of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal’s recreational use. Expect towpath-style canal angling rather than a bookable commercial fishery, and check local permit and signage details before setting up.

Kingsbury Water Park Fishery
Kingsbury Water Park Fishery
Kingsbury · 7 lakes on site
Kingsbury packs 12 fishing lakes and over 125 acres of water into a 620-acre country park, with proper carp potential and plenty for mixed-coarse anglers. Parking comes with your fishing ticket, but pick your water carefully: Pine has its own tariff, while Canal and Broomey Croft aren't on ordinary day tickets.
73%Cuttle Mill Fishery
Sutton Coldfield · 2 lakes on site
Two spring-fed pools near Sutton Coldfield, with carp to 35lb advertised on Mill Pool and cheaper day tickets on Long Pool. Small angler limits, online booking and an overnight option make this a cracking one to weigh up for a carp session.
71%Peatling Pools
Lutterworth · 6 lakes on site
Peatling Pools offers six named coarse pools, bankside day tickets and a mix of carp, barbel and silver fish. There’s a choice of compact waters and bigger pegged pools — just don’t confuse it with the separate Peatling Match Lakes opposite.
