The interest in fishing and hunting is well represented in the political governance of Härjedalen municipality.
One who knows is Sune Halvarsson in Hedeviken, who dedicated his political life to social democracy with a particular focus on sport fishing. Decades of a lot of work and commitment, among other things, to Hedeviken's fisheries management area, are the basis for his responsibility and expertise. Including cooperation on various issues with neighboring fisheries conservation areas. Today is Sune's birthday 80 year.
The municipality's commitment to sport fishing is particularly clear. It can even explain that the Härjedalen landscape has overtaken the ancient Jämtland, which is the largest part of the county. Härjedalen attracts the most. The location of the landscape and, above all, the change in fishing are likely explanations. Seen as a whole in Sweden, Härjedalen is at the forefront of sport fishing, usually Sune Halvarsson claims as a social democratic politician in tourism and leisure issues and father of the 'Fiskeligan', the competition for the province's record fish, which he has managed for thirty years. For more than forty years, Sune has been involved, including in the municipality's Fishing Group, which can be seen as a specialist body for the municipal management.
– More and more, the municipal management has opened its eyes to the fact that sport fishing is an important part of the municipal economic policy with job opportunities that provide year-round effects in the hospitality industry, he says. The pandemic led to an overall picture where priority investments are now required for fisheries conservation associations and marketing. Härjedalen has a varied range of fishing, everything from mountain fishing to exciting pike- and perch fishing in the valleys along Ljusnan, which is "Härjedalen's golden vein", according to Sune Halvarsson.
Sune Halvarsson has every reason to consider and receive tributes for his life's work from every angler in Härjedalen!
From the friends in Långåfisket, we send a big and warm CONGRATULATIONS on your birthday! Good continuation!
