All About the Carp Anglers Group

History of the Carp Anglers Group

The CAG was started in 1993 as a small newsletter with a circulation of 30 anglers. The (then) American Fishing Association published the first ad in their newsletter and the CAG was off to the races. Word of mouth and lots of help from EuroTackle and CarpSense helped sell the idea.

The February 1995 issue of InFisherman brought in several hundred members. Now we are at 1000's members, the approximate size of the Spoonpluggers club.

The organization held it's first national meeting September 1994 during the Chicago Carp Classic. A good time was had by all.

The Carp Anglers Group is recognized as the North American specimen club for carp by the Carp Society in England and is especially strong in the Mid- west and Eastern parts of the United States. There is a Canadian component centered in Ontario and we have 25 members in Europe. A good start in just a few years (and on no budget).

Dues are $20 (US) a year, $35 for two years, for which you get a newsletter published 6 times a year, an introductory package, and entry to the national meeting in Chicago and regional fish-ins. Most of all, you get to meet good people and learn about the fabulous carp in North America!
