Classy Joint Cleanup and power have gone hard in long-Ljusnan throughout Långå fiskevårdsområde. The restricted and controlled water flow is of course the enduring problem but certain conditions be remedied. Therefore, the board of Långå FVOF has developed a plan for the next few years with a number of measures that will correct what can be restored and create more attractive fishing spots.. Primarily, the work is focused on the fishermen and their living conditions. This is the Fisheries Conservation Association's priority number 1. The angler comes second, which is logical given that it is the presence of fish that attracts fishermen. Not worth it.

Per-Ola Persson, who is responsible for quality on the board and Långåfiskets River Keeper, is responsible for the project and has begun work on analyzes and evaluation of what measures need to be taken. This has to some extent been done in consultation with the county administrative board and Härjedalen municipality. The application for district funding has been submitted and is being processed. As soon as the financing is loose, the work will start.

STANDING PLACES AND PLAYGROUND
When the river channel was cleared of rocks and embankments that prevented floating, the natural conditions for the fish that lost their positions changed and where a significant part of the fish's nutritional intake also took place.. Now those conditions must be rectified. Blocks and larger stones will be lifted back into the river and that material is in abundance along the shorelines. After a while, fish and aquatic insects find their right habitat and living conditions.

Per-Ola has identified the different places and also pointed out places where current-forming conductor arms of stone and gravel are to be formed. They lead to current conditions that the naturally occurring fish want and in addition there is more oxygenation of the water. In general, there will be more living water.

Along Långå-Ljusnan there are many natural playgrounds especially for the trout in the estuaries and rivers that flow out. They will be helped to become "more natural" by adding play gravel and improving the "nurseries" that are there. In this way, the natural reproduction can be stimulated and give more trout in Ljusnan.

– We get a natural Långå-Ljusnan strain of trout, says Helge Jonsson, because Halvfaridammen puts a stop to migration from the south. Current research shows that the conditions lead to adaptation and local tribes are formed. This is very much in line with Långåfisket's goals and the fisheries management plan, which is aimed at ensuring that in Långå there are only local, natural fish. The only exception is P&T-waters, he says.
