Powan fishing
About Powan
The powan is a Scottish whitefish, a glacial-relict member of the Coregonus family found in only a handful of deep, cold lochs. It feeds mainly on plankton and bottom invertebrates, making it a difficult and rarely targeted catch. It is legally protected in Britain, so any incidental capture should be handled gently and released at once.
Typical size: Typically 0.2 to 0.5 kg; larger fish around 1 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 1 kg (varies by region; protected species).
