About the Wild Trout Trust

Our native trout, Salmo trutta, is a wonderfully diverse and adaptable species. Trout are a clear indicator of whether or not a river or lake is a healthy environment. If trout can thrive, then so will other wildlife. Learn all about trout and their relatives, grayling and arctic charr, by clicking the links below:

Membership costs less than a pint of beer each month and as well as supporting our work, you benefit from:  

• Joining a like-minded group striving for wild trout conservation and keen on wild trout fishing
• WTT’s excellent annual journal, Salmo trutta and information-packed newsletters
• Members-only trout and grayling fishing events on exclusive beats
• Meeting friends and fishing chums at our annual get-together
• Working with us voluntarily and practically to improve habitat in our rivers

Our ‘in river’ projects range in scale from a hundred metres to a kilometre or more, and may involve a small army of (wet and muddy) volunteers or a large excavator, expertly guided by one of our team. We use techniques that we know work, based on evidence and experience, and are proud to be chosen to manage the delivery of many partnership projects.
