The first stage of the summer reduction fishing for whitefish in Grundsjömagasinet has been completed. For nearly three weeks have 1,2 kilometer, 6 meter deep drift net caught 3 100 sieves with an average weight around 600 gram. The area of ​​the net amounts to 6 600 square meters. Net fishing has been able to be carried out under better conditions than compared to the summer 2022 when the water level was unusually low. Allan Blomkvist i Långå har ansvarat för insatsen.

The fishing is carried out to reduce the whitefish population to the benefit of Grundsjörödingen. A large part of the catch is delivered to Härjedalen municipality, which serves it in school canteens and at nursing homes.

The targeted reduction fishing is carried out in places where the whitefish have their spawning grounds. Bycatch of other fish species is less than 3 percent, which is a very good result, sometimes with only one or a few other fish caught. The reduction fishing now continues until the end of October with two large Russians where the catch is expected to reach roughly the same level.

At the turn of September/October, roe are caught from Grundsjörödingen. The rum is fertilized and placed in places that are not laid dry when the reservoir is drained for electricity production. This prevents the rum from being 'freeze-dried' when the ice settles over the spawning beds of the char.

Experiences and reports from fishing during 2023, especially at the beginning of the season, indicates that there is natural reproduction of char in the Grundsjömagasinet. It is noted as a good sign that the char has some ability to cope with the nutritional competition with the immigrant whitefish.
