Samuel G. (Samuel Granger) Camp

Born in 1877, Samuel Granger Camp was an American author known for writing about recreational fishing. The available records found here confirm his name and birth year, but they offer little biographical detail beyond his work as a writer.

Camp is best remembered for a run of fishing manuals published in the 1910s and 1920s, including The Fine Art of Fishing (1911), Fishing Kits and Equipment (1910; later edition 1913), Fishing with Floating Flies (1913), and The Angler's Handbook (1925). These titles suggest a practical, hands-on approach, aimed at helping anglers choose gear and improve technique.

Even with the limited personal information now easy to confirm online, his books still give a clear sense of his interests: careful observation, useful advice, and a deep enthusiasm for time on the water. For listeners drawn to classic outdoor writing, Camp represents a straightforward and knowledgeable voice from the early days of modern angling literature.
