Description
Summary:hawk .the outside end of the [salmon] net, about the last ten fathoms, is swung away from the main part of the net at about a right angle. This is done because salmon sometimes sense the presence of the net and should they approach the net inside the hawk they tend to swim along by the side of the net supposedly expecting to get around it at some point. 39 .a more elaborated kind of hawk is used. This involves taking a portion of the hawk and turning it towards the shore again so that, what is formed, in effect, is a three-sided compartment at the outside of the net from which the salmon has little chance to escape.
