Långåfisket ™ is a trademark of the natural and attractive sport like long fishery conservation area association grant.

Activities include the care and management of the fishery natural resources, conditions and development in the five square miles of great fishing area. An important part of the business is service and inspection and marketing. Specifically about fifty people are involved and the vast majority of verksamhen based on voluntary unpaid work for a value of close to half a million crowns annually. Since the revenue from the permits are reversed in fish conservation measures and investments for fishing, means that the value of the Fishing is more than twice the charge angler pays.

Fishery conservation measures 2021
Långå fishing has been claimed for more than three hundred years as a natural resource worthy of protection 15 May 1716. Management, care, investments and utilization are described in the fisheries management plan for 2022 – 2032.

The watchword in the plan for Långåfisket is "conserve, care and use' with a focus on the original fish species, aquatic organisms and biotopes through control, supervision and measures in ongoing management, regulations and through an extensive investment program. The focus then concerns the angler who is offered memorable experiences through Långåfisket. Collaboration with relevant actors in society such as the county board, the municipality, Anglers, Fortum Sverige AB with several connections to the larger contexts and perspectives.

THE FISHING
The number of fishermen coming from outside is approx 1 200 per year. Total number of fishing trips (fishing opportunities) is closer 15 000, which is explained, among other things, by the fact that one and the same fisherman can 'regroup' to a couple of three other places per day. All income and externally provided funds are used for investments in conservation and biotope care, more and more with an emphasis on the environment, climate effects, fisheries care and management. No financial dividend to the owners. The value of a fishing license is approximately four times greater than the fee.

Support measures for the survival and reproduction of Grundsjörödingen in the Grundsjömagasinet take place through reduction fishing for immigrated whitefish and capture, fertilization and stocking of rums in places that are not laid dry due to power production. The measure is carried out within the framework of the Grundsjö project, which is owned and financed by Fortum Sverige AB, County Administrative Board of Jämtland, Härjedalen, Långå fishing association and Särvsjön village community. The owners unite, despite different roles and tasks in society, in a unique collaboration around Grundsjörödingen as the common goal.

The fisheries management plan and environmental plan, updated annually with a rolling ten-year perspective. Special measures secure the supply of trout in Långåljusnan; the demarcated part between two power plant dams.

Advice and rules for fishing are updated annually after consideration of what the fishing waters can allow.

PROJECT
Groundwater project The agreement was renewed between the parties Fortum Sverige AB, Härjedalen, Långå FVOF and the County Administrative Board of Jämtland County and Särvsjöns Bysamfällighetsförening. The project's perspective is ten years and is organized as a separate unit alongside the contracting parties' regular organizations. This year's activities have included:
 Procurement and agreement with F:a Allan Blomkvist on responsibility for implementation of the project, operation of LFVOF:s freezer containers and disposal of catch mainly to Härjedalen municipality for school canteens and homes for the elderly. The project is supported by volunteers.
 Reduction fishing for whitefish in the Grundsjömagasinet was carried out with floating nets and two large rudders.
 The annual catch has been greatly reduced in recent years and became 2021 4 160 (4 546) sieves with average weight 450 approx 50/50 net Russians This is interpreted as an indication that the method, with floating nets/big ruts works.
 New strategy for rejuvenation measures was introduced and breeding stock and remaining fry at the fish farm in Tännäs were released into Grundsjön.
 Preparation of 'charts' for Grundsjömagasinet was carried out.
 Preliminary study on Damm i Dammen was carried out. Paid for by Fortum Sverige AB for new decision under 2022.

project Långåljusnan
The project has restored the stretches of stream in Långåljusnan for biological diversity with natural reproduction of fish species that also provide a long-term, durable and attractive fishing. Favorable biotopes have been formed for native fish species and for aquatic insects and dragonflies. The water volume is larger with deep furrows and deep hollows that mitigate the consequences of climate effects and drought.
Långåljusnan's tributaries are important breeding grounds for especially trout with a growing share of locally marked Ljusnanöring. Measures for the regrowth of trout in the streams are carried out within the special 'Trout project'. Investments and results are followed up through a special management plan.

Preliminary study and analysis of the possibilities of restoring the remaining section to Kolbenshån, has been completed and the project is expected to be completed this summer 2022.

Sub-project INFRA 2020 applies to joints, paths, rest areas, fishing huts, information, cultural history and service. The Swedish Agency for Agriculture and the EU's program for rural development have invested in the infrastructure measures 315 000 SEK, Härjedalen municipality via village funds 90 000 and Långå FVOF 70 000 SEK. Allan Blomkvist completes the INFRA project this summer 2022.

REPRODUCTION AND RELEASE OF FISH
The fisheries management plan prioritizes natural reproduction of the original fish species. The waters are allowed to hold the amount of fish they are naturally capable of holding. Long-term plan based on assessed need for releases was drawn up during 2019 by Långåfisket's quality manager, Per-Ola Persson. The plan is part of the overall fisheries management plan.

Långåfisket's CULTURAL HISTORY
Rich treasures that risk falling into oblivion and hide the times of agriculture, forestry and the life that was lived in Långå, in the forests and along river banks. Famous fishermen have left behind stories and interesting objects and tools. Against this background, a special board position was established 2016. Documentation photography and collection of photos and objects takes place and forms the basis for presentation on Långåfisket's website.

QUALITY WORK, SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
Långåfisket's reputation and demand is based on the quality of the fishing experience. The core of the quality work is based on the fisheries management plan and the regulation of fishing also takes place through the set regulations with good advice and instructions that appeal to the angler's responsibility and delegate the right to the holder of a fishing license to point out to other fishermen which rules apply. Långå FVOF applies an inspection fee that is determined annually at the association's general meeting. To date, no inspection fee has been charged.

Per-Ola Persson is Långåfisket's "River Keeper" with responsibility for supervision, fish management plans, fisheries conservation measures and biotope conservation, and planning, control and statistics. Share catch&release increases. Reporting on catches has increased significantly and is used as a basis for planning.

The board has contingency plans for emergency events with the possibility to immediately introduce restrictions or other measures to protect the fish. Awareness of climate effects has been sharpened. The problems are worrisome and disturbing, particularly serious for Långåfisket's cold-water-dependent noble fish.

FISHERIES SUPERVISION
All persons in the supervisory activities have up-to-date training according to new requirements with new certification by the county administrative board. They work according to schedule with an emphasis on being ambassadors for Långåfisket and providing guidance with a high level of service for fishermen. Their work efforts are particularly significant and appreciated. The assignment also includes supervision of rest areas. Littering is noted as a problem.

INFORMATION – COMMUNICATION – MARKETING
Trademarks
Långåfisket's logo consists of 4 roundels symbolizing "the big four" – trout, char, grayling and whitefish. The term alludes to the hunter's term for big game on the African savannah. It is not the weight of the fish that is meant, but their importance and importance as sport fish and culinary experience. Härjedalen municipality uses its official name for the fishermen as "Långåfisket's four nobles". The fishery is licensed and marketed under the collective name Långåfisket™. Trademark exists for Grundsjöröding™, Grundsjööring™, Långåröding™, Långåsik™, Långå SIKROM™ as well as Naturvärlden™ and Långåflugorna™. The board has established the proper name 'Långåljusnan' for Ljusnan's stretch through the fisheries management area.

Marketing
www.langafisket.se, Facebook and Instagram
The website and Facebook are heavy channels for Långåfisket's information, contact and marketing. Långåfish has approx 1 000 registered on Facebook and more than a hundred followers on Instagram. Långåfisket is connected to Hede-info.

The website is a valued channel with an emphasis on facts, factual information and information that gives the angler knowledge, motivation and service to plan, carry out and get the best experience of their fishing trips and fishing opportunities. For resource reasons, there is no phone service, but the efforts that would be devoted to that activity are instead spent on fisheries management. Anglers can make their own effort in this way by searching for information. Facebook is the more spontaneous channel for both information and communication, where Kent Kristoffersson makes valuable contributions.

Media
Långåfisket has received valuable publicity in Tidningen Härjedalen, Östersund Posten, The county newspaper and the leading magazines Flugfiske i Norden and Svenskt Fiske. Knätskugga is our local house organ. A lot of attention has been paid to the Långåljusnan project with detailed reports in Flugfiske i Norden and in Sportfiskarna's member magazine Svenskt fiske. Eleven press releases have been sent to date- and trade press plus ongoing direct contacts with various newsrooms and journalists.

Fairs and events.
Due to the Corona pandemic, participation in fairs, exhibitions and other public events have been canceled with the exception of Hedemässan where Långåfisket shared a stand with Långå Skans. During the autumn, Långågården arranged the sale of, among other things, Långå SIKROM™ from Grundsjön.

PERSONAL RESOURCES and COLLABORATION
Personal commitment and efforts are highly appreciated. They are part of the Långå culture! Under 2021 hair 51 people have been involved in the business. The value of unpaid voluntary efforts is estimated at around half a million Significant cooperation with valuable additions to the operation takes place with the County Administrative Board, Härjedalen municipality and Fortum Sverige AB as well as various actors in fisheries management.

ECONOMY & FINANCE, FORECAST
Turnover has been for several years 1,5 – 2 million including the major projects and renewal investments. The financial conditions are based on certain capital being available for the association's activities and commitments through agreements. No investments are started unless they are fully funded in advance.
Långå FVOF does not provide a forecast for fishing license sales, which are completely dominated by weather and climate effects. The stability of the association's finances, including the proportion of voluntary unpaid work, are prerequisites for management, use and development of the fisheries management area's unique assets.
