Despite being a long established pool which was once used as a stock pond for the original waters at the nearby Peatling Pools fishery, Little Fishery Farm only opened for day ticket angling at the beginning of September 2015.

To be found along the Gilmorton Road on the outskirts of the tiny Leicestershire village of Peatling Parva, the pool has only been fished occasionally by members of the owners family and friends, all of whom report that it is crammed full of fish including common and mirror carp, tench, perch and roach.

The pool was developed many years ago by Malcolm Ellingworth, father of current owner Nick, who developed nearby Peatling Pools into a successful day ticket fishery.

Since then, Little Fishery Farm has expanded to become one of the county's leading breeders of Alpacas, which adds an interesting twist for visitors to the venue where added attractions also include chickens, Indian Runner ducks, sheep and even pigs.

This, combined with the fact that the fish are easy to catch, makes Little Fishery Farm an ideal venue for families and parents who want to take their children for a day's fishing where they are sure to catch.

About an acre in size, Little Fishery Farm is probably best described as a natural looking water which offers a total of 19 slabbed pegs set a minimum of nine yards apart.

Whilst some of the pegs near the entrance and along one bank are suitable for disabled anglers, some parts of the banks are quite steep which would make other pegs difficult to reach in wet weather.

As a result, less able - bodied anglers should contact the fishery in advance to determine the ground conditions.

Work is also in progress to create a site for touring caravans and camping which, when completed will make Little Fishery Farm an ideal spot for those looking for a weekend angling break.
