Fishing as a natural resource is the core of what could be called Långåfiskets heritage. It is mostly about knowledge, experiences, history and work to preserve, care and use fisheries. To make it visible and known to be an important step in this effort also includes many other elements that belong to the fish culture expression means to show the worth visiting places, cultural relics, portrait known fisherman, stories, fishing tips och advice.
These include even more delicate touches with pictures and quotes from poems, Literature and Art. And of course the odd word translation from Långåmålet, the own shade of the Härjedalen dialect.
The rural culture in long appreciated, it has long been known, with values and remains in the living soil- and forestry culture.
There are therefore many sources to draw from and access to stories and documentation. As always, this is something of a commodity that needs to be dealt with and used before disappearing through the generation and much falls by the wayside. The cultural treasure must be taken advantage of because it is of importance in the village, and not least for the visiting anglers who get "help" to experience more of what they already appreciate.
There are good conditions for the implementation of cultural investment in the form of base, channels and opportunities to highlight the cultural heritage. Within Långå fiskevårdsområde several occasions to highlight, show and highlight our cultural heritage and attractions. There will be, among other things through Långåfiskets website, by exposures in shelters that can serve as "exhibitions", in print and social media, at exhibitions and meetings.
The measures are implemented and organized in the form of projects in the first round years 2017 – 2020. The introduction to the project were made in connection with that long FVOF noticed that it's been 300 years ago, the oldest known document proving that fishing long has been claimed.
