From the Tribute to Peter Mohan ? I first met Peter at the AGM of the British Carp Study Group, back in 1972, at Billing Aquadrome. The group, which Peter founded in 1969 as the world?s first national organization for carp anglers, was in its early days then, but had already become one of the most sought after and prestigious organizations within the angling world. It was already publishing its own professional magazine, the first specialized single species journal of its kind in this country and the world?s first carp magazine. Later, in 1974, and still at Billing Aquadrome, Peter arranged another meeting, and as a result of this The Carp Angler?s Association was formed and Peter was unanimously elected as Secretary. Under his guidance the CAA went from strength to strength to become the biggest single species organization of its kind in Europe with members in 17 countries. Peter has caught more than 4,000 carp, from 138 waters, written 8 books, edited dozens of magazines for the BCSG and the CAA, and several other books, and written hundreds of articles on angling.
