The full rundown on Glebe Fishery
Despite sometimes being listed as Glebe Fishery, Medbourne, this one is The Glebe at Peckleton Common, near Peckleton and Earl Shilton. It’s part of Mallory Park Fisheries and associated with Mallory Park Fisheries Ltd. Worth getting the postcode and directions sorted before setting off, so you don’t end up heading for the wrong Glebe with a boot full of gear and a brew going cold.
The site covers approximately 36 acres, with nine fishing lakes or pools at The Glebe. There are also more than a dozen wildlife ponds across the wider site. It’s a coarse-fishing venue, with carp, bream, tench, roach, rudd and perch reported. Other reports mention barbel and crucian carp too, so there’s a decent spread of coarse fish to aim for.
A couple of the pools have names that’ll get the bank talk going. Pool 2 is known as the Pretty Fish Pool, while Pool 3 is called Uglies. The available details don’t split out individual lake sizes, depths or species, so it’s worth asking the fishery which pool best suits your plan before booking or choosing a swim. A quick chat with the bailiff or membership contact could save a fair bit of faff.
The Glebe is primarily a members-only water. Members may purchase guest day tickets for other people, with a recent listing reporting those at £10 per day. Ordinary day tickets aren’t available to non-members, so this isn’t a turn-up, chuck-in-and-hope sort of venue. Sort the membership or guest ticket first, and check the current position directly with the fishery before loading the car.
The reported fishing season runs from 1 June to 31 March, with fishing from dawn until dusk. Night fishing isn’t permitted. The fishing platforms and pegs are described as comfortable and generally accessible, which should make getting settled fairly bob on. Bring the usual landing net and unhooking gear, and ask about the best approach for the pool you’re heading to rather than assuming every lake fishes the same.
There’s match action and organised competition at the fishery, but keepnets are permitted only during official matches. Outside those events, plan your session around landing and looking after fish properly without a keepnet. The rules are important here: hooks must be barbless and no larger than a regular size 10, while braided line, method fishing, method feeders, floating and subsurface floating baits, dog biscuits, floating particles, nuts, bloodworm, joker and meat baits including pet food are prohibited. Only coarse pellets may be used, with trout pellets banned. Landing nets, keepnets, unhooking mats and weigh slings must be dipped before and after fishing, and dogs aren’t allowed. For booking or membership enquiries, contact the fishery directly with the fishery.

Bait, rigs & seasons
How we'd fish Pretty Fish Pool (Pool 2)
carp
A neat lead-clip rig over a light scattering of bait
When you don't know the lake well yet, the simplest approach is the best start: a reliable bottom bait rig on a clean spot, with just enough bait to get a bite without filling them up.
- Feel the lead down to find a firm spot, then clip up so you hit it every cast.
- Fish a single boilie or wafter with 20–30 freebies around it.
- Leave one rod roving and recast it to showing fish.
bream
Waggler and groundbait for bream
If they're within waggler range, float fishing over balls of groundbait is a great way to pick off bream.
- Ball in groundbait with casters and chopped worm at the start.
- Set the float a touch over-depth and watch for slow lifts.
- Top up when bites slow.
tench
Lift method float for tench
Tench feed with their heads down and tip baits up — the lift method shows that bite as the float rising and lying flat.
- Fish the margin at dawn with a straight waggler, locked by a single big shot 2–3in from the hook.
- Rake or lightly bait the swim with hemp, corn and maggot.
- Strike when the float lifts or lies flat. Bread, corn or worm on a size 12–14.
roach
Float maggot for roach
On a mixed lake a waggler and a pint of maggots is the easiest way to keep the float going under all day.
- Feed six to ten maggots every cast.
- Shallow up if bites come on the drop.
- Size 18 hook and light hooklength.
