GALTALAEKUR

Region: South Iceland
Coordinates: 63.721° N 19.4011° W

Small, sensitive, clear stream is only 3 km long with 20 pools. Despite the diminutive size, this little gem produces brown trout, the trout is large, from 2 to 15 pounds It is a very interesting trout fishing stream, which tributes to river West Ranga. Big brown trout are often caught on the junction pool of the two rivers. Just above the junction there are beautiful areas with lots of waterfalls with good looking pools below. Also, anglers are free to walk from the junction pool down the main river and search for brown trout.

The distance from the capital is about 110 km.
