The Naatikkajoki flowing into the lake Kitkajärvi is an interestingly varied environment for the fisherman, because the rapids and the slow-flowing quiet waters alternate along with the rapids being suitably long and fast-slowing. The places for grayling fishing can be found both in the potholes of the rapids and in the necks of them. Also the quiet waters are worth fishing. The river Askinjoki is 1.2 kilometres long, half of which consists of the rapids. In the river, there are graylings, occasionally abundant whitefishes along with single trout.
