The Fish River, is a river in the Otago Region of New Zealand. A tributary of the Makarora River, it rises east of Mount Burke and flows south-eastward through Mount Aspiring National Park, crossing at 44° 6.97'S 169° 20.66'E,[1] to join that river south of Haast Pass.[2]
The river was named by Julius von Haast in 1863[3] [4] Charles Cameron travelled up the Fish River a few weeks earlier.[5] [6]
