A method dealing with an overflow capacity of a fluid screening system is disclosed, the system (20) including a first screen (22) for screening objects of a first predetermined size from a fluid channel (21) the method comprising the step of: providing an ancillary screening system (23) upstream of the screen (22) and operational upon fluid within the channel (21) reaching a predetermined limit, the ancillary screening system screening objects of a second predetermined size from the fluid channel (21). The second predetermined size can be less than the first predetermined size. The ancillary screening system preferably can include a screen (23) placed substantially tangentially to the main flow of fluid within the fluid channel and includes a raking mechanism for cleaning objects lodged substantially adjacent the ancillary screening system. The output of the ancillary screening system can be interconnected to the fluid channel downstream of the first screen (22).
