I have a pond that consist of three basins. Water is pumped to the top
pool and then comes down to the lower pools through sluices.
How can I contain the fish in the middle pool?

I had a similar problem with small fish being swepted into my pond
skimmer then being exhausted by fighting the current. I rescued one
but one little one died.
I took some plastic fruit tree netting (it is cheap and has a mesh of
about 1/2 inch) and made a effective screen with a bit of green plastic
tubing, to make a frame and hot glue to stick it together - been working
for 2 years now. The mesh being that size does not effect the flow or
clog up too fast.

Cheers.

PS: being as this _is_ a pond group I guess it is not _too_
inappropriate that we have a lot of "Trolling" going on ;-)
