Fishing in Hossa
Hossa National Park is known as a fisherman’s paradise. There are several streams, clear-water lakes and ponds in the area. In addition to strong perch and whitefish stocks, the water bodies are stocked with trout, grayling and rainbow trout.
Hossa’s fishing waters are managed systematically. The sufficiency of natural fish species is taken care of by stocking and some of the endorheic waters are also stocked with catch-size rainbow trout while the Hossanjoki River is stocked with trout. Fly fishing, ice fishing and trolling areas are all easily accessible. Deep in the wilderness, along the scenic waterways, you can fish for pike, perch, whitefish, European grayling and trout. You can buy the necessary permits from the Visitor Centre and rent a rowing boat for trolling.
