Description
Galtalækur is a two rod brown trout stream that runs into West Rangá well above the salmon area. There is often good fishing in Galtalækur, but the fishing area is quite demanding. Very large trout are caught there as well as many smaller ones. Fly fishing is only allowed, and all trout must be released. The fish should be handled with care and anglers should be careful not to handle trout with dry, bare hands.
