DOUG STANGE INDUCTED INTO
NATIONAL FRESH WATER HALL OF FAME

Brainerd, MN, March 3, 2008 — In-Fisherman is proud to announce that  Editor in Chief Doug Stange has been inducted into The National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame for 2008 as a Legendary Communicator.  The National Fresh Water Hall of Fame, located in Hayward, Wisconsin, is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to conservation and sportfishing and whose mission is to recognize men and women who have made significant and lasting contributions to the sport of fresh water fishing.
 
Since 1981 Stange has masterminded the contents of what has become the most widely read and respected national freshwater fishing magazine in North America:  In-Fisherman.  In addition, he oversees Walleye In-Sider magazine plus the annual Walleye, Bass, Catfish, Ice Fishing, and the Pike & Muskie guides. Under Stange's direction, In-Fisherman publications have become the trusted source of accurate, educational and entertaining information on multispecies freshwater fishing.
 
As host of In-Fisherman Television, Stange is keenly aware that, for most anglers, fishing remains a chance to get away from it all, to escape the hustle and bustle of the work-a-day world.  But he also knows that catching fish is for almost all anglers an integral part of having fun.  
 
Stange is one of North America’s most accomplished multispecies anglers, and has written about almost every aspect of freshwater fishing, from ethical considerations affecting the sport to specific tactics used to catch almost every fish that swims. His years of editorial excellence and invaluable efforts in blending fisheries science with practical fishing experience, plus his personal commitment and dedication to fisheries conservation and management will help ensure that the future of fishing is passed on to future generations.
