Hossa boasts a large number of ponds and lakes whose varied fish population provide ample challenges for recreational fishermen. There are suitable spots for rapids fishing as well as for trolling, ice-fishing and fly fishing.

• Two ponds that are located very close to the national park are stocked with rainbow trout.
• The Hossa angling permit 5502 (erläluvat.fi) entitles you to fish in the Hossa National Park at Kirkasvetinen, Umpi-Valkeainen, Iso-Valkeainen, Keski-Valkeainen, Ala-Valkeainen and at Pitkä-Hoilua‒Kokalmus as well as at rapids and flowing waters, and outside the national park at Huosiuslampi, Keihäslampi and River Hossanjoki.

At the other waters of the national park, everyone has the right to go hook and line fishing and ice fishing free of charge and those who have paid the fisheries management fee (eräluvat.fi) are entitled to go lure fishing at ponds and lakes.

At the lakes and ponds which are located outside the Hossa National Park and which are managed by Metsähallitus, you are allowed to go angling and ice fishing free of charge and you are allowed to fish there with one rod, under the lure fishing right that is included in the fisheries management fee. Fishing with more than one rod is possible with the North Ostrobothnia-Kainuu angling permit 5411 (eräluva.fi).

Fishers need to check the restrictions on fishing sites at www.kalastusrajoitus.fi (In Finnish).
