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. About fifty people are involved and the absolute majority of the business is based on non-profit unpaid work to the value of close to half a million kroner annually. Since the revenue from the permits are reversed in fish conservation measures and investments for fishing, this means that the value of the fishing license is four times as large as the fee the angler pays.

CONSERVATION, CARE AND USE
Långå fishing has been claimed for three hundred years as a natural resource worthy of protection that is preserved, cared for and used. Fishery care, management and investments are run in-house. Major renovations are carried out for biodiversity. The test fish shows which waters require measures due to too many fish with the risk of forming 'thousand brothers'. At the same time, these are seen as assets for regrouping in other waters. Cooperation takes place with relevant actors such as the county administrative board, the municipality, Fortum Sverige AB and Sportfiskarna in contexts where additional competence and financial resources are needed.
2021 the principle of maintaining and caring for original fish species through natural reproduction was introduced. Our precious fish with multi-thousand-year pedigrees and local imprint mean biological diversity and an attractive sport fishing. Stortjärn is the only P&The T-water and farmed rainbow trout are released there.
The Grundsjö project works for the survival and reproduction of the Grundsjörödingen in the Grundsjömagasinet through reduction fishing for immigrated whitefish and stocking roe in places that are not laid dry during the winter. Under 2023 a feasibility study was completed on building a 'Pond in the Pond' which creates a 'lake within the lake' that is not drained. Grundsjön is like a 'battery' where the potential energy of the water is stored and converted into electricity in the Lånå hydropower plant. The decision on 'ECOSJÖN' was taken at the project board's seminar in Långå 21 sept. 2023.
Långåfisket's CULTURAL HISTORY
A fishing trip contains more experiences than just the fishing itself. There are plenty of interesting remains from historical times in environments with cultural values where fishing takes place, for example harvest sites at Unnsån which have been made visible. Cooperation with the project group for Långå Skans has been established and measures for a meeting place at the Långåljusnan stretch have been initiated. Places are arranged there for practicing fishing techniques, information about the region's native noble fish, on the biology and ecology of fishing waters, entomology and different ways of fishing. A functional rest area is established. The project is called 'FISHING MODE'.
QUALITY WORK, SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
Supervision and quality are managed in-house with competence and responsibility. 2023 four people have been trained and certified for electrofishing, which is an important tool in control, analyzes and fisheries management.
Långåfisket's rules mean that anyone with a fishing license can point out to other fishermen which rules apply. Långå FVOF applies an inspection fee.
INFORMATION – COMMUNICATION – MARKETING
Långåfisket's logo with 4 Rounds symbolize "the four nobles of Långåfishing". Trademark exists for, among other things, Grundsjöröding™, Grundsjööring™, Långåröding™, Långåsik™ and Långå SIKROM™ The board has established the proper name 'Långåljusnan' for Ljusnan's stretch through the fishery management area to distinguish it from other parts of Ljusnan, e.g. Intermediate beam.
Marketing The website and Facebook are channels for Långåfisket's information, contact and marketing. The website is appreciated for the facts, factual information and information that gives the angler knowledge and service for planning, carry out and get the best experience of their fishing trips.
The website is a channel for facts about the fishing waters, species, biotopes, regulations, good advice and tips on everything from recipes and cooking to accommodation services.
Traditional 'selling advertising' is not used. Telephone service is not possible due to time constraints, but everyone can find current information on the website around the clock.
TACK
The board expresses a warm and sincere thank you to the owners for the trust and to the fifty people who have shown their commitment in various ways and have volunteered in the business, usually without any compensation. Without your contribution, the association would not be able to fulfill its responsibility and mission.

A warm thank you to all of you!
