A central-Swedish Baltic salmon river where recent stock assessment signals make conservation and stock trajectory central to the story. Ljungan flows from the mountains of Jämtland to the Gulf of Bothnia, with salmon runs in the lower reaches below hydropower dams. Brown trout, grayling, and sea trout also present. This is a management-heavy river — include it honestly as a status story, not as a carefree destination proposition.
