Långåfisket's library

Långåfisket's library is under construction and the idea is that there will be press clippings here, tips on literature, video and media on fishing as well as more comprehensive information and comments on current topics. There will also be documentation here that is not normally found under other headings on the website.

The library can be seen as part of Långåfisket's cultural investment. It aims to increase the experience of the fishing trip with data and information about the fishing culture in Lånå and draw attention to interesting places and historical remains in the landscape. The ambition behind Långåfisket's cultural program is to contribute to the feeling of greater participation in what is worth experiencing.

The book about Grundsjörödingen
I december 2020 the book Grundsjöröding - a presentation of the Grundsjö project in Härjedalen by Helge Jonsson was published. The book contains data, accounts, descriptions, stories and other things worth reading about the slightly unique project where different stakeholders, with different assignments in society, agreed around a common goal – to preserve Grundsjörödingen for all future in Grundsjön. The book can be obtained via info@langafiset.se or read via link here at www.langa fishing/basic jerk on
The groundwater project is owned by Fortum Sverige AB, Härjedalen, Långå fish management region compound, The County Administrative Board in Jämtland County and the Särvsjön Community Association. The project's time perspective is primarily ten years with an annual update of the agreement.

Target – Sweden's first flugserie

For the first time in Swedish fly fishing history, the centenary is presented, first Swedish flight series, the Hedeflug, in Helge Jonsson's story about the shoemaker Oscar Fick and his daughter Alma Nordlund. Dissatisfaction with the imported English flies led Oscar Fick to start creating his own fly patterns with models from the insect world he found at Ljusnan and other fishing waters in the middle of Härjedalen. Already at the age of fifteen, his daughter Alma became his assistant and as successor she completed the series.

Sara Edman has studied all the flies in detail and reproduces them with photographic sharpness. Sara Edman has also designed the book.

THE LAST COPY is now being sold for the benefit of Långåfisket's cultural investment. Taken 150 kroner of which 50 kroner goes to Långåfisket. Shipping is added. The book can be ordered via helge.jonsson@incorema.se

ENVIRONMENTAL ADAPTATION OF HYDROPOWER Views, requests and claims for reconsideration of hydropower judgments

The fishing area Långå Compound

 

To the County Administrative Board in Jämtland County

 

Several of hydropower's negative consequences can be corrected with measures that satisfy both the power interest and the environmental interest. That is what Långå Fiskevårdsområds Förening claims, which has formulated ideas, wishes and requirements in connection with the review of water judgments for Ljusnan and Mittån. Several natural values ​​can be preserved and developed within the framework of the process. According to Långå FVOF's assessment and conclusions, it is a unique opportunity to correct the negative consequences of the power expansions.

 

Långå FVOF and Långåfisket see each other not as 'opposing interest' but is a 'collaborating stakeholder' who can contribute with knowledge and competence. Our main focus and responsibility is naturally nature- and the environmental interest, but it also means that we need to recognize and understand the role of electricity supply in people's quality of life and the needs of social development.

 

In the first place, the attached PM is addressed to County Administrative Board of Jämtland for its responsibility in the process. To begin with, we want the county administrative board to use the basis as a request for a targeted object inventory in order to use this as a starting point to consider the need for an in-depth investigation that will lead to an application to the environmental court for a review of water judgments through the measures we present here.

 

At the same time, the attached PM is sent to Fortum Sweden AB for information, information and as a basis for considerations and positions that concern and otherwise may be of interest to the company. Fortum, county government, Härjedalen municipality and Långå FVOF have positive experience of collaboration and cooperation in the Grundsjö project, where the company, also from an electricity market perspective, can see several benefits for sustainability strategy and goodwill values.

 

The summary of Långå FVOF's reconsideration proposal is as follows:

  1. The light downstream of Lossen:

Minimum bottling 3,5 m3/May sec – October and 1,4 m3/november – april. Mean water flow before expansion: 23 m3/sek. Mini aqueduct today: 0,4 m3/sek.

  1. Mittån downstream Grundsjön:

Minimum bottling 2 m3/sec May – Oct and 0,5 m3/november – april.

Mean water flow before expansion: 14 m3/sek. Today no bottling.

  1. Environmental project for Mittån, pilot project, with the co-operation of power interest and nature interest using the capacity of Grundsjömagasinet.
  2. The groundwater project continues
    • the main features of the present (2026) basic agreement and agreement annex.
    • the bet on ECO LAKE
    • the magazine is developed as a resource with new capacity, "resource water", for both electricity supply and natural/environmental values

Långå Fishing Areas Association Appendix 1

Facilities, wishes and requirements for environmental assessment of water judgments.

Ljusnan and Mittån water systems. Härjedalen, Jämtland county.

Background and motif are reported at the end of the document, appendix 2.

Reconsideration of hydropower judgments aims primarily at new environmental conditions with the greatest possible benefit for the water environment and at the same time securing a national, efficient access to electricity from hydropower. The fishing area Långå Compound, Långå FVOF, agree with this.

The background to Långå FVOF compiling the ideas below, wishes and claims, should be seen as that for more than three hundred years we have understood to preserve and use fishing as an asset of a natural resource worth protecting for each generation. The strategies for Långå FVOF are based on conservation, care and use of native fish species with natural reproduction in productive biotopes. These are for people's need for a harmonious balance between nature quality and quality of life. The importance and benefit of fishing as a useful natural resource is increasing in importance in private, nutrition- and community life.

The starting points for the review are the conditions that formally apply according to the agreement and the process that follows from these. At the same time, it is important and possible to correct mistakes made earlier in order to form, protect and use new nature- and environmental values ​​also in a broader perspective with simultaneous consideration of the power interest.

The reconsideration of water judgments in Sweden is a unique opportunity that can create or at least re-image parts of lost natural resources and environments in place, even if it is in a different format. At the same time, the potential for regulated hydropower to compensate and add to other nature should not be ruled out- and environmental values. A regulation magazine can also prove to be a resource for managing climate effects, which was not foreseen fifty years ago, and be a means of managing water in more contexts and for more needs.

Coordination of the water supply in a regulating reservoir can be developed to satisfy the main interests: energy, nature and environment.

Långå fishing management area belongs to one of the country's most heavily exploited areas for electricity production through hydropower and wind power with impact and damage among natural resources and environments. Wind power and an increasing proportion of solar-generated energy have radically changed the water flows downstream of Långå power plant and thus opportunities and conditions for fish and other aquatic organisms, with a disadvantage for sport fishing, household fishing and recreation. Recreating sport fishing in Mittån would compensate for some of the problems in Långåljusnan.

Långå Fiskevårdsområde Förening has compiled requests and claims as a basis for the environmental review process. The association is at the same time available with competence and resources to shape new nature- and environmental values ​​with maintained electricity production or reasonable impact on the power interest. Here, conditions and use of the water resources for electricity production can be combined and developed for the conservation and use of biological diversity for human needs of nature- and quality of life and at the same time be an asset in Sweden's energy supply.

Within Långå FVO, extensive work and investments have been made to alleviate the effects of waterway cleaning and exploitation of hydropower, where natural environments have been able to be recreated, albeit in a different format.

The Långåjusnan project was carried out by Långå FVOF in the years 2015 – 2020, when the current stretches downstream of the Lossendammen were renovated after clearing the waterways. Today, the route is as it was intended by nature with its meandering course, with deep hollows that mitigate the effects of dry years, rapids that oxygenate the water and guide the fish, lee water for reproduction, an insect- and birdlife. There are opportunities to achieve additional nature- and environmental values ​​through small adjustment of the current minimum withdrawal with marginal impact on power interest.

Within the Långå fisheries management area, the regulated Grundsjöarna are the area's 'inland waters'. The groundwater project is then 2004 a unique measure in Sweden's energy supply with a simultaneous investment in biological diversity. Despite different areas of responsibility and assignments in society, the project is owned and implemented in good cooperation and cooperation with the county administrative board (the state's conservation interest), Fortum Sweden AB (power industry and electricity supply), Härjedalen (recreation and hospitality) as well as the fisheries conservation areas in Långå and Särvsjön (biodiversity and sport fishing).

The project primarily aims to preserve the unique char strain, 'Ground sea trout', with its specific genetics and origins.

In connection with the re-examination of the water judgment for the Grundsjöarna, there are now opportunities to recreate the currently dry Mittån for biological diversity with reasonable efforts, with nature- and environmental values ​​for attractive sport fishing and simultaneous energy extraction from the Grundsjömagasinet in Långå power plant. "Co-driving" of the water supply is possible to accommodate power- and nature interests respectively.

With its knowledge and experience, Långå FVO is the right place for a pilot project that focuses on conservation, care and use of exploited waters- and natural resources also in more and broader perspectives. Gained knowledge, competence and experience within Långå FVOF should be seen and used as an asset in the review process.

In July 2025 the board of Långå FVOF decided to appoint a special working group to produce current views and data for the association's approach, considerations and proposals for reconsideration of water judgments for environmental adaptation. Rapport (attached below) was submitted to the annual general meeting in Långå FVOF on 30 mars 2026 where it was unanimously approved and adopted as a course of action.

 

Conditions and basis for a review of water judgments relating to Långå Fisheries Management Area.

The County Administrative Board's assessment is that out of, a regional perspective, the biological values ​​in Ljusnan's source flows are very high and it is very important that sufficient water is released in both Ljusnan downstream of Lossen and in Mittån downstream of Grundsjöarna.

The Långå Fishing Area Association's own interests and conclusions are essentially connected to what the County Administrative Board in Jämtland County and Härjedalen Municipality previously presented on the matter. We believe that

  • increased minimum withdrawal is needed for Ljusnan/Långåljusnan downstream of Lossendammen,
  • minimum withdrawal is introduced for Mittån downstream of the Grundsjö dam,
  • natural values ​​can be recreated through a pilot project in Mittån, downstream of the Grundsjödam, with 'co-operation' of the water supply for both the power interest and nature- and the environmental interest
  • continued investment in saving and preserving the national interest, The Grundsjörödingen worth protecting in Grundsjömagasinet
  • continue to develop the concept ECO LAKE™ by creating lakes within the lake with ponds within the pond as well as 'mirror ponds' and depressions in the reservoir's stream channels.
  • The capacity of the ground sea dam should be investigated where a slightly higher dam limit would create 'resource water' that is prioritized and used by nature- and environmental reasons for biological diversity in Mittån.
  • The groundwater reservoir should be identified as a resource for more societal needs than just electricity production, including changes in the environment and climate.

These measures are possible to implement while the impact on the power interest is reasonable and substantial during the negotiation space. The environmental benefit produces effects that many times exceed the costs.

Ljusnan is the main watercourse with a water system that covers large parts of the municipality's surface. The total lake surface is 520 km2 of the landscape's total approx 13 000 km2 but the proportion of stream water is all the greater; In total 760 km with a mean water flow exceeding 1 m3/sek.

The fish stocks in the western parts of the municipality and Långå FVO are dominated by the noble fish species trout, char, grayling and whitefish. Other species are perch and tench and pike, however not in Grundsjömagasinet. The privately owned fishing waters in Härjedalen are coordinated in 20 fisheries management area associations where Långå fishing management area is five square miles large with an innumerable number of fishing spots and around eighty designated fishing waters in the form of lakes, ponds, seal and four miles of stream water.

Långå fishing has been claimed for more than three hundred years as an asset of a natural resource worthy of protection and useful. The oldest known document is from May 1716.

The Fisheries Management Association markets the fishery under the name Långåfisket™. Within the Långå fishing management area, fishing licenses are sold annually for between 400 000 and half a million kroner. These represent approx 10 000 fishing opportunities. The majority of fishermen come from Hälsingland, middle path, Stockholm, Uppsala, Västerås and the rest of Mälardalen, as well as from Norway and Finland. Increasingly, visitors come from Central European countries. Långåfishing is therefore of significant interest to Härjedalen municipality and the tourism industry in the Jämtland/Härjedalen region as well as Jämtland county.

Ljusnan's water system is heavily exploited for the extraction of hydropower. The major developments in western Härjedalen took place after the Second World War, when the Lossen magazine was established, closely followed by the exploitation of the unique Upper and Lower Grundsjön and the construction of the Långå power plant. In the water judgment, the transfer of water from neighboring Övre Särvsjön was allowed with disastrous consequences for the protected Grundsjöröding through immigration of competing whitefish. The hydropower era ended in the 1970s.

Långå power plant represents approx 20 % of the total reconsideration space for this part in Härjedalen. It amounts to a total of 104 GWh.

Långæljusnan downstream of Lossendammen.

The distance is total 25 km with long currents, still water, "holes" and a larger lake, locate, with an area of ​​approx 200 ha. Before the expansion of power and the heavy clearing of waterways that were carried out for floating timber, this part of the Ljusnan was a watercourse with great natural values, varied nature types with a mixture of wilderness, forestry areas and settlements with cultivated land. Fish stocks were abundant and fishing for grayling was considered unique to sport fishing, especially for fly fishing. In lakes and still waters there was significant domestic fishing.

Through the Långåljusnan project 2015 – 2020 Långå FVOF has restored the stream stretches with very promising results as a biotope, for biological diversity and as sport fishing water. Today, the renovated stream stretches are reminiscent of the time before the waterway clean-up, however with regulated minimum withdrawal and no spring flood. Investments in the measures amounted to just over 11 million kroner plus the value of approx 3 000 unpaid work hours, voluntary work, worth approx 1 million kroner. The financing has taken place partly with own funds, partly with state ones- resp. EU contribution, contribution from Sportfiskarna, as well as the power industry's regulatory means for measures of damages incurred as a result of power exploitation.

The mean water flow on the stretch was earlier 22 m3/sek. According to the current water ruling, today's minimum water flow is 0,4 m3/sek. The reconsideration space (5 %) constitutes 10,97 GWh.

Sample bottlings took place in the summer 2005 on the route with different flows with the volumes 0,9 m3/sek, 3 m3/sec respectively 9 m3/sek.

For the route to reach a capacity close to the conditions that prevailed in its 'natural' state (except spring flood) an increase in the minimum water flow is proposed to 3,5 m3/sec during the summer period, 1/5 – 31/10, and during winter time 1/11 – 30/4 to 0,8 m3/sek

The estimated production loss for summer as well- as the winter period is assumed to be at a reasonable level in relation to the production value and clearly within the scope for negotiation.

In addition to the value for biodiversity in beautiful and rather original environments, sport fishing is given new conditions for practice, experiences, accommodation, guiding as typical features of the local infrastructure. A new living water system is recreated as a "fishery management area within the fisheries management area", in something we call Naturvärlden™.

Mittån downstream Grundsjömagasinet.

Mittån from Grundsjödam to the outlet in Långåljusnan is 12 km with a drop height of 190 m. The stretch is completely dry downstream of the Grundsjö dam, apart from limited source inflows, and through the outlet of Unnsån receives an addition of approx. 0,3 – 0,4 m3/sek. The mean water flow on the stretch was before the Grundsjöarna regulation

14 m3/sek. A large number of 'mirror dams' were built during the 1970s as measures for the landscape. The dams were motivated and implemented primarily as part of the landscape architecture ideas of the time.

Mittån runs through a wilderness area with magnificent natural scenery with the famous and well-visited Mittåfallet (20 m drop height), canyons and interesting rock formations. In the westernmost parts with nature types that can be classified as untouched wilderness. The fishing before the expansion was of very good quality, especially trout, but also presence of gray in the lower sections. The river could hold trout in sizes over a kilo. Tributaries were important spawning grounds for the original trout with multi-thousand-year pedigrees.

The middle tongue is possible to recreate to a valuable natural resource with an interesting trout fishery. This presupposes minimum withdrawal from the Grundsjömagasinet and some cleaning- and renovation measures, among other things, in the built mirror dams to increase their capacity to hold a significantly larger amount of water. It provides the capacity to withstand the consequences of dry years, warmer climate and provides 'regulatory capacity' with regard to priorities that need to be made for the interests of electricity and the needs of the electricity system.

The basis of the project idea gathers within the concept of 'co-operation' and aims at the best use of water resources for the competing interests of electricity supply (including the system requirements for control power in the event of wind power failure) respectively the water's supply of living natural environments. There should be opportunities to identify and use variations in the power interest/system interest and nature respectively- and the environmental interest and distribute the water supply in the Grundsjömagasinet in time and volume for each need. We have named the minimum withdrawal from the Grundsjömagasinet 'resource water',

that is to say, an asset that arises in part through the combination of power- and nature interests, part by some increase in the magazine's storage capacity.

Carpooling. To minimize and adapt the need for tapping from the Grundsjömagasinet for the 'nature interest' and at the same time satisfy the power interest, a special development is proposed- and demonstration projects, a pilot project, with 'co-operation' of the water supply where, among other things, operating technical and market conditions need to be clarified. In this way, it is possible to manage and distribute the water according to the need for electricity production and the need for water for biological diversity, for fish and for other aquatic organisms.

The measures involve, among other things, identifying variations and changes in the respective needs, input for control and systems, methods and mechanisms for rational operation as well as policies for managing consequences where the power interest must be prioritized. The latter is also possible to manage through increased water volumes in some mirror dams in the intake as reserves when the power demand temporarily exceeds nature- and the environmental interest.

Economic conditions for 'pooling' needs to be investigated. For Långå FVOF's board and in the main agreement for the Deep Sea Project, there is a claim to 'reasonableness' as guidance, criteria and conditions for constructive and long-term sustainable solutions.

In connection with environmental adaptation of water judgments for Ljusnan and Mittån

need the power interest and the natural environment interests are given one fair status and is handled and elucidated from, among other things, social science and national economic perspectives. The two of them the special interests – kraft- and the system interest and nature- and the environmental interest are at this stage equivalent based on their importance to people, social development and future.

In this context, the co-financing of wind power needs to be examined with regard to its need for regulatory power, a factor that was not included in the financial assessment that was made for the electricity supply through the current water judgments. Nor were the meaning and consequences of stock exchange trading included in that document.

The goal of the project is to recreate significant natural values ​​and large profits for sport fishing and the hospitality industry in a part of Härjedalen municipality heavily exploited by the power industry. In Mittån's lower reaches, that 8 kilometer, conditions exist to re-establish a long-migrating large trout through its lower spawn- and reproduction area with Långåljusnan as associated reservoir and rearing area. In upper parts of the river, that 4 km, a significant sport fishery for stream stationary trout can be re-established.

Supply of this type of fishing is in great short supply in the fishing municipality of Härjedalen. The value of such measures will benefit recreation, tourism and the hospitality industry to a significant extent. In addition to the fact that there are natural environments with original characters for biological diversity with increased capacity against climate consequences.

Mittån, downstream of Hovdebron towards the outlet in Långåljusnan, is addressed within the framework of the Långåljusnan project and set aside, with a fishing ban, as a reproduction area for trout.

Minimum bottling

Sampling was carried out and documented in the summer 2005 with 0,2 m3/sek, 1,3 m3/sec and 2,6 m3/sek. The distance can be restored by minimum refilling 2,0 m3/sek, the period 1/5 – 31/10 and winter time 0,4 m3/sek, 1/11 – 30/4.

The reconsideration space (5 %) constitutes 11,67 GWh. The power loss can possibly be reduced to a few percent of the production value. If the water volume "resource water" in the Grundsjö reservoir could be slightly increased, it should lead to almost zero loss in terms of power.

Långå FVOF therefore wishes that such measures can be implemented for Mittån as a pilot project within Långå FVO and thus as a model nationally, but also internationally. Financing the project should be of interest to the state, science, power industry, industry and funded funds for the environmental adaptation of hydropower and for the EU. Of course also for many of Sweden's 2 000 fisheries conservation areas.

Grundsjömagasinet

In a national perspective, Grundsjön has a char stock with genetics, growth, reproductive capacity and quality that must be assigned the highest national protection value for all time.

In the water ruling, the diversion of water from Övre Särvsjön after rotenone treatment was allowed, which would prevent a transfer of undesirable species – mainly whitefish – to Grundsjön. The action proved futile, which was already known before, and whitefish have been transferred via the tunnel and formed stocks in the Grundsjömagasinet. The existence and survival of the nationally protected Grundsjörödingen is thus threatened by this mistake.

Since 2004 measures have been taken, on the initiative of the county board. This is done through the so-called Grundsjö project, which is an investment in biological diversity to save the stock of Grundsjöröding for all future, including targeted decimation fishing for whitefish and special measures for reproduction. The project owner is the County Administrative Board in Jämtland County, Härjedalen, Fortum Sweden AB, Långå FVOF and the Särvsjön village community. The annual budget is approx 500 000 SEK (2026) with Fortum Sverige AB as the main financier for two thirds, 65 000 kroner in government subsidies and the rest in the form of regulatory funds for the power industry. Långå FVOF carries out the activities after procurement and agreement with the board of the Ground Sea Project and additionally assists with significant non-profit work.

In order to increase the efficiency of the targeted reduction fishing, it has been happening since the summer 2025 with float roller with doubling from the summer 2026. The demersal whitefish is of very good quality with increasing potential as a food fish. The catch is further processed for commercial kitchens for, among other things, schools and homes for the elderly in Härjedalen.

Problem areas are nutrient availability, nutrient competition and drying of bottoms with freeze-drying of rum. An idea like Helge Jonsson, chairman of Långå FVOF and the project board, presented 2014 ponds in the pond would create lakes in the lake with the ability to increase the nutrient supply and prevent freeze-drying of the rum. The project idea has been developed and is now within Fortum's project organization with the aim of existing as a pilot plant 2029 with the name GO ECO™.

Within the framework of environmental adaptation of water dams, Långå FVOF also proposes that simple reservoirs be arranged within the dam area where smaller amounts of water remain, much like 'mirror ponds', in the magazine. There, laid rum can hatch and nutrient production occurs within two meters of depth. The mirror dams are preferably arranged in stream furrows that extend along the reservoir bottoms at levels approx 5 – 10 meters below the upper dam limit.

Conducted test fish in smaller water sinks show that there are fish and aquatic organisms during times when the reservoir reaches its lowest dam limit. This suggests that the idea can work and make a certain contribution to survival and biodiversity in the magazine.
