Fisheries near Markfield
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.

Medbourne · 2 lakes on site
The Glebe is a proper coarse-fishing venue at Peckleton Common, near Peckleton and Earl Shilton, with nine lakes or pools across roughly 36 acres. It’s mainly members-only, with guest day tickets available for £10 per day.
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.
71%Ashby Canal
Hinckley · 1 lakes on site
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.
78%Friezeland Pools
Bewdley · 5 lakes on site
Friezeland Pools is a five-pool carp fishery near Market Bosworth, with day tickets, booked night fishing and match options. Handy facilities, plenty of pegs and a proper carp-heavy feel, though check the postcode carefully if you’re travelling from Bewdley.
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.
Hinckley
Ashby Canal – Hinckley Stretch
Ashby Canal – Hinckley Stretch
Hinckley · 1 lakes on site
A proper six-mile canal stretch from Bridge 1 at Marston Junction to Bridge 19 at Hinckley, with zander, perch, pike, plenty of silverfish and carp around the Hinckley area. Day membership is listed at £5, but check the exact access arrangements with Tusses before setting off.
72%Holly Farm Fishery
Lutterworth · 3 lakes on site
Holly Farm has three coarse lakes near Lutterworth, with canal-style pole fishing on Gils, island water on Trotters and a smaller option in Moby. Published day tickets start at £8, but give Paul or Julie a bell to confirm prices and opening hours before loading the car.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Melbourne
Foremark Reservoir
Foremark Reservoir
Melbourne · 1 lakes on site
Foremark is a proper big reservoir at approximately 230 acres, with a trout-fishing background and public facilities on site. Fishing now needs separate BMAA approval, though the club says its Foremark places are full — so this isn’t a turn-up-and-buy-a-ticket job.
77%Derby Canal
Derby · 5 lakes on site
A proper 12-mile stretch of the Trent and Mersey Canal, run by Pride of Derby Angling Association. It’s membership-only water with roach, perch, gudgeon, chub, bream and some cracking carp below Swarkstone Locks.

Trent and Mersey Canal – Shardlow Stretch
Shardlow · 4 lakes on site
A proper stretch of canal water controlled by Pride of Derby Angling Association, running from the Trent and Mersey confluence near Shardlow west towards Stretton. Shardlow itself is described as one of the best areas, with productive lock sections, boatyards and far-bank tree cover.

There’s a proper mix of carp and coarse sport, plus handy facilities and flexible ticket options — though booking and the members-only setup outside the day-ticket season need watching.
