The Wangapeka River is a remote and pristine freestone river flowing through the stunning landscapes of the Tasman Region on New Zealand's South Island. It originates from two main branches, the North Branch and the South Branch, within the Kahurangi National Park, eventually joining the Motueka River. This river offers a tranquil and classic fly fishing experience, characterized by its healthy population of wild brown trout and its location within a significant conservation area.
