Lanny's Lagoon
    
    If you are looking for a secluded fishery where you can get away     from it all for a day's pleasure angling - Lanny's Lagoon on the     Warwickshire/Leicestershire border has to be the place.

    Just off the Fosse Way, the fishery is surrounded by five and a half     acres of woodlands and offers two delightful pools holding a good     head of carp, roach, rudd, perch, tench and barbel. Because     Lanny's Lagoon is set in woodland, the pools are always sheltered     from any wind whatever the time of year.

 
 


Although the lakes are about 150 yards down a track through the woods from the main car park, the walk is certainly worth it.
We suggest that disabled anglers contact the fishery directly to
discuss access.

The cabin is equipped with a chemical toilet which will be upgraded before the start of the 2004 season.

Unlike many commercial day-ticket fisheries today, Lanny's Lagoon is run by owner John Lanwarne as a labour of love rather than an out-and-out money-making venture.

    
    A former British Telecom engineer, Lanny retired from his nine-to-
    five job when he inherited the pools about 15 years ago and since     then has progressively cleared the banks, created walkways and     pegs around the pools, removed unwanted weed from the waters     and created a haven for anglers who enjoy a quiet day's secluded     fishing. Indeed, when he first took over the pools he had to hack a     path through shrubs and undergrowth to get to the waterside!

    Open from dawn until dusk, the blend of carp and silver fish make     Lanny's Lagoon a good year-round venue and it is certainly worth     going off the beaten track to find and enjoy this lovely fishery. 		 
    
     Although the two pools are known as Top Lake and Middle Lake, there is actually no Bottom Lake!
 
Now the disabled go free at Lanny's

Registered disabled anglers can now fish free of charge on the
Middle Lake at Lanny's Lagoon following the installation of  Environment Agency-funded timber platform pegs for 10 disabled anglers.

In addition, fishery owner John Lanwarne has created gently sloping pathway to create wheelchair access to the lake as well as gravel paths around the waters.

 

    The work, which has taken John since November last year to     complete, has greatly improved the look of this delightful pleasure     fishery just off the Fosse Way in Warwickshire.

    In addition, 1,000lb of mixed carp and silver fish from the     Environment Agency have been stocked in the lakes and are already     improving catches. These fish include hybrid crucian carp up to 1lb     8oz.

    John is now hoping to develop the small pool near the entrance to     the fishery as a three-peg 'Dads and Lads' venue for children and     their parents.
