How we check the content
Four types of claims, four requirements.
Biology and facts
Must come from a credible source: research, an authority or an encyclopedia with expert editors.
Regulations
Must come from the authorities: the Directorate of Fisheries, regulations on Lovdata, the Norwegian Environment Agency and the County Governor. Each species page shows when the regulations were last checked, and the page cannot be published if the check is older than 365 days. Freshwater rules are not covered yet, so the pages on freshwater fish show no rules.
Fishing tips
Where, when and how to fish must either have a credible source or be confirmed by at least 3 independent sources of experience.
Tackle advice
Hook size, colours, weights and the like vary with the day and the angler. They may rest on a single source of experience and are marked as tackle advice in the list of sources.
What does “independent” mean?
We count origins, not websites. The same author published on several websites counts as one source, and so does a text that has been rewritten from another.
An example: the same guide to cod fishing exists on four different websites. In our source base it counts as one source.
What we leave out
Advice we cannot find good enough evidence for is not on the page. At the bottom of each species page we show what we looked into but chose to leave out. Regulations are never taken from fishing blogs or retailers, because such pages often have outdated rules.
Tips from readers
Readers can share their own experiences at the bottom of each species page. Every tip is read through before it is shown, but it is not checked against sources. That is why reader tips are kept apart from the rest of the page, and they do not count towards the source requirement. Regulations are never taken from readers.
Translations
The English and German versions are translated from Norwegian with AI assistance. The claims, sources and dates are the same as in the Norwegian version. The sources themselves are mostly in Norwegian, and their titles are shown as published. If the versions differ, the Norwegian one is correct, especially for rules. Found a translation error? Use the form at the bottom of the page.
All sources
158 sources, all read and checked on the date given.
