Spontaneous fission of neutron-deficient fermium isotopes with neutron number N$$<$$144 was investigated. The nuclei were produced in fusion-evaporation reactions of $$^{40}$$Ar beams with $$^{204,206-208}$$Pb targets. The new isotope $$^{241}$$Fm was identified, and the half-life 0.73 ms was determined. The half-life was significantly longer than the neighboring even-even isotopes $$^{242,244}$$Fm, and the hindrance factor were calculated by the to be 1.1$$times$$10$$^{4}$$ for $$^{241}$$Fm and 5.2$$times$$10$$^{4}$$ for $$^{243}$$Fm, being associated with the lower tunneing probability for nuclei having nuclear spins. The result suggests also the possible production and detection of $$^{239,237}$$Fm becalsue of the stabilization against spontaneous fission.
