A different contraption for catching powan is set up in the full force of the rapids; it is like a hoop-net but not so deep. 6 feet high, 2 wide, 1 deep. It is fixed firmly to stakes and placed facing the current. When the fish turns side-on to the rapids in the middle of the current, it is pushed backwards and finds it impossible to make progress; so, in the strongest part of the current, it falls back into this net and cannot struggle out of it, thus being caught.
