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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Glebe Fishery

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.

Packington Somers Fishery

Meriden · 4 lakes on site

A big, well-established Midlands commercial complex on former gravel workings, with around 13 match-and-pleasure lakes and pools plus a stretch of the River Blythe.

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.

Lavender Hall Fishery

Balsall Common · 5 lakes on site

Lavender Hall has a proper mixed-coarse and carp-fishing history, with Station’s islands and Oak’s runs-water setup the standout draws. The venue now trades as The Lakes at Lavender Hall, and Dragon has switched to swimming and paddleboarding, so check current fishing access before loading the car.

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.

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.

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.

Oxford Canal – Rugby Stretch

Rugby · 1 lakes on site

Oxford Canal – Rugby Stretch is a proper towpath-access canal venue near Rugby, with roach, perch, pike, zander and other coarse fish in the wider system. You’ll need both an Environment Agency rod licence and the right fishery permit.

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.

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.

Barston Lakes

Solihull · 3 lakes on site

A big, 21-acre, 125-peg carp and match lake within the West Midlands Golf Club near Solihull, with a British Carp Angling Championship match-weight record and carp to 37lb.

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.

Blythe Waters

Knowle · 5 lakes on site

Blythe Waters is a five-lake coarse fishery between Knowle and Hampton-in-Arden, with match water, beginner-friendly fishing and specimen carp around 30lb in Home Pool. Despite the canal label, the checked details describe fishing lakes, not a canal stretch.

Draycote Water

Rugby · 1 lakes on site

Draycote Water is a proper big-water venue near Rugby, with roughly 590 acres for bank and boat fly fishing. There’s boat-only predator fishing too, but the dates and permitted methods need a careful look before you book.
