About the Society 

The Grayling Society is a Not For Profit Organisation, formed in 1977 by a small group of enthusiastic game fishermen who wished to conserve and establish the Grayling as a true, wild, game fish.


From very modest beginnings in 1977 and a handful of original members, the Society has grown. We now over 900 members in a total of 18 countries around the World, with Overseas Secretaries in Europe, Scandinavia and America. More than 250 of our members live or regularly fish for grayling outside of the United Kingdom.

The Society in the UK is divided into areas - see map - each with a secretary. The Central Committee of the Society is also based in Great Britain.


By bringing members from all areas together on an annual basis at our Grayling Weekend and General Meeting, we set about achieving our core aims of promoting:



for Grayling.


Membership of the Society provides an opportunity to make a direct contribution to the conservation of perhaps the most beautiful of all wild game fish.

In return for members support, the Grayling Society provides a range of benefits - principally aimed at informing members about the Grayling and its habitat - offering advice on fishing and helping members to keep in touch with other like minded anglers throughout the world.


The Grayling Society publishes a number of publications which are available to members - Society Publications.
