Figure 8. — Brailing crew lifting the spiller of a salmon trap preparatory to brailing. In this operation one side of the spiller is 
lowered sufficiently to permit a small pot scow to enter the spiller. The side is then raised. Starting at one side of the spiller 
the crew overhauls the web until the salmon are crowded enough for brailing. 
Figure 9.— Brailing a salmon trap. The lower end of the heavy net, or brail, is attached to the side of the scow. The upper end 
is attached to a heavy pipe so that when the brail is lowered over the side of the spiller it sinks quickly. As soon as the brail 
sinks it is hauled under the densely schooled salmon by the men on the pot scow (in the background). The brail is then 
hoisted with a winch and the salmon are dumped into the large transporting scow.
