Manamansalo is an island with road access situated in the middle of Lake Oulujärvi. The recreational fishing area of Manamansalo is a part of the Oulujärvi Hiking Area, which in turn is a part of UNESCO's Global Geoparks Network. Terrific sandy beaches, easily traversed pine heath forest, crystal clear ponds and a five star camping area make Manamansalo the favourite destination among anglers of all ages.
The permit area contains ten separate small lakes that are home to perch, whitefish, grayling and trout. In the waters of Lake Särkinen you can also go after rainbow trout, which is planted into the lake catch-sized. The nearest fishing spots are situated within only a few minutes' walk from the camping area. We invite you to experience the top-tier services and clear fishing waters of Manamasalo!

Every fishing and hunting area and hut has a page with a map window that shows the location of the destination. In case of permit areas, you can see the borders of the area. Did you know that you can choose what and how information is displayed on the map?
In this permit area, you will need an angling permit for all fishing – including hook and line fishing and ice fishing.
You will also be required to pay the fisheries management fee, unless you are under 18 years of age, over 70 years of age, or are 65 years of age or older as of 31 December 2023. However, the fisheries management fee is not required if you are hook and line fishing or ice fishing with only one rod. If you are hook and line fishing or ice fishing with multiple rods, you are required to purchase an angling permit and pay the fisheries management fee.
Always make sure to check the location of the permit area. Please see either the map window or the PDF map on this page. Enlarge the map window to view the location of the permit area more clearly.
