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@langafisket.se or read via the link here at www.langafisket / grundsjoprojktet
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.
HEDEFLUGAN – 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

LÅNGÅFISKETS PERSPEKTIV
Rapport om sportfiskares intressen, behov och engagemang. Unersökningen utgick ifrån frågan “Finns det något mer som kan intressera sportfiskare förutom att köpa fiskekort, fiska och resa härifrån?” Rapporten innehåller uppgifter om hur undersökningen organiserades och finansierades, samt om metoder och hur den genomfördes. Resultat och slutsatser från olika delområden redovisas.
