There is something special about holidays. They are felt in the whole body long before and the experience of previous celebrations stimulates the imagination to approach a personal experience again – himself! – or together with others. Easter belongs there with all its content and the meaning you decided on. One can absorb the dramatic events in the Bible with the crucifixion and the hopefulness of the resurrection where the savior was not broken. Then either. You can browse the newspaper clippings and compare with the Russian freedom fighter Alexei Navalny, who was killed by the Putin regime a couple of months ago. Hell in Ukraine or Gaza. Or why not embrace the moment in August Strindberg's theater play 'Easter', from year 1900, where the son of the tormented family comes home, hangs off his overcoat and says: It is as if it carried the sorrows and worries of the whole winter. The wear and tear changes into something long-awaited and new. It's like stepping out of everyday life, into the overalls and head to Grundsjön. You meet hope, the peace, the silence – and himself. Hard-hit tradition!
The fishing trip is the moment that occurs when it is in progress and stretches on both sides with the longing for and the longing back. It's more than what we normally get out of our other experiences.
The weather will be what it will be and sometimes it will be topics that we recall when we say “Do you remember that day when we were at Grundsjön?. On Easter!”
Memory is assets owned in original! Like the experience of the Easter meal. Do you remember?

Easter is the biggest fishing holiday in our tradition and on the Easter table in Långå the delicacies that are taken from the fresh waters are served. Smoked perch is one of the highlights of the starters. Smoked whitefish, a delicacy. Sikrom, a sensation! Scrambled eggs with smoked lake, also. Actually tastier than eel, if anyone remembers what it tasted like before the clueless fishing put a stop to it. Lake liver is a delicacy. Carefully remove the yellow-green gallbladder. Freeze for at least four days. Simmer gently in salted water, or butter fryer in a sufficiently hot frying pan. Served with chopped chives on buttered crisp bread. The lacquer room! Freeze for four days, tina, whisk off the membranes in a water bath, they, drain in filter, salta, pepper, serve on buttered toast, white bread, with chopped red onion and a small dollop of crème fraiche and maybe a little dill tip. Fabulously good! Many throw away the sheets, towards better knowledge. It is permissible to ask to receive it, because you know better. Unlike many waters, the heavy metal levels in the fish here are barely measurable.
Happy Easter to all of you from the board and employees of Långåfisket's operations!
