The annual meeting with the Långå Fisheries Management Association attracted around thirty participants. The board gave an account of operations and results achieved during 2023. Sales amounted to 840 000 kroner compared to 1 060 000 the year before. The year's deficit of 84 000 SEK is balanced in a new account. The sale of fishing licenses amounted to approx 400 000 SEK. The auditors approved the discharge of liability for the board, which the meeting decided.
The big projects, among other things, the renovation of the current sections in Långåljusnan has been completed. There are signs of regrowth of trout and grayling and that biological diversity is being reestablished.
Långå FVOF is a partner in the Grundsjö project together with Fortum Sverige AB, county government, Härjedalen municipality and Särvsjön village community. The contract has been extended. The project celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. The annual meeting approved the board's proposal about the project's plans for ECOSJÖ, a 'pond in the pond’ which retain water with opportunities for natural reproduction and nutrient production.
The annual meeting approved the board's budget for the financial year 2024 which includes, among other things, a project for fisheries conservation and rejuvenation of the stocks by transferring from certain ponds to waters that can support larger populations. The measure is part of Långåfisket's strategy to preserve the original fish species without cultivating and planting fish. At the same time, the risk of there being too many fish in certain waters is reduced, so-called thousand brothers.
Another project is to create a gathering place for various activities such as "FISHING LOCATION at Långå Skans". It will be a place for, among other things, 'meetings by the campfire', information, different themes and areas of knowledge and with places for training and practice in different fishing techniques. The stretch of Långåljusnan along the rampart has been opened for free fishing.
