Welcome to the Carp Anglers Group (CAG)! We are an organization of avid carp anglers from the United States, Canada, Great Britain and beyond. Dr. Michael J. Keyes founded the group in 1993 as a specialty section within the American Fishing Association. It has since evolved into an independent educational and social group devoted to fishing for carp. The organization has established a set of principles that help guide us:

Gain acceptance of the carp as an exciting and challenging sportfish.

Become better carp anglers, assist others and encourage them to join us.

Treat the carp with respect. Promote the release of trophy-size carp. Encourage others to do the same.

Most of all: go fishing, share with others, and have fun!

Join the Carp Anglers Group and learn about the latest in carp fishing tips from other fellow members and experts from across the pond in the UK and Europe, where carp fishing has a long history as a revered sport. Members receive a subscription to our magazine, the North American Carp Angler, complete with articles on the latest in fishing methods, tackle and equipment, and Fish-Ins, or local fishing outings throughout the country.

So please learn more about us and what we can offer you, and join the legions that have discovered the joy of pursuing what may be the largest and most game fish in your local waters.

Tight lines..
