The rapid is broad enough for wadding as well as for rowing. The area of the fishing ground was extended downstream a lot in 1998. The most sought-after fish in the rapid Keskisenkoski is lake trout. Lake trout make long wanderings as far as lake Päjänne in order to eat. A lot of trout over the minimum size limit has also been planted in to the rapid. The natural spawning of the lake trout is supported with mother fish plantings and net fishing limitations. There Is also a large grayling population in the rapid, which has grown considerably during the last couple of years. There is a well-maintained shelter, a lean-on and a fireplace above the rapid. You can rent a rowing boat from the place where fishing permits are sold. The quota of people fishing on the rapid has been increased to seven in 1999.
