How to use this ranking
The order is a map-planning ranking, not a claim about today's fish population. It favors larger mapped waters and gives survey-backed contours a three-times data-quality boost. Agency population surveys, current regulations, access and recent conditions should make the final decision.

When to fish pollack (lyr) in Norway
- Spring 8–100 ft — Cast or jig beside current-washed rock and kelp without dragging through vegetation; verify visible bait or marks.
- Summer 12–150 ft — Fish a baitfish profile through the current shadow of a point, then probe the measured wall if fish are deeper.
- Fall 15–160 ft — Follow forage from outer kelp and rock toward deeper ledges as the season cools.
- Winter 35–220 ft — Treat winter inshore pollock as localized; work slowly only where current, bait and safe conditions align.
