哈盆古道沿著南勢溪上游開闢，是一條從福山連往哈盆的步道，古時是當地泰雅族的交通路線。福山山區的林像堪稱完整，動植物生態豐富，再加上夏天午後容易下對流雨，因此這裡又被稱為「台灣亞馬遜」。Hapen trail is built along with South River, it is a trail which connects Fushan and Hapen. In the ancient time, people of Taiya aboriginal use this trail as traffic way. Fushan is well forest without developing, there are abundant animals and plants resource. Because it rains often in the afternoon in summer, so this area is also named as "The Amazon in Taiwan".
每年夏天都會與父親走一趟哈盆古道，今年也不例外。在經歷了四個多小時的努力，沿途還必須涉過四條大小不等的小溪，最後才抵達佈道的終點—哈盆。哈盆算是南勢溪的源流，溪水極清澈，而個人總是習慣利用中午休息時間，在此享受西式毛鉤的釣魚樂趣。Father and I always do hiking to Hapen every summer, and so did this year, too. From Fushan to Hapen, we had to cross four streams, and we arrived Hapen finally after four hours walking. Hapen is the headwater of South River. The River is extreamly clean, and personally, I prefer to enjoy the fun of fly fishing in the time of rest.
以往哈盆一帶的水域盛產馬口魚，但是經歷過幾次颱風洪水和人為濫捕，如今魚類資源寥寥無幾。儘管在魚況不理想的情況下，個人還是憑著經驗找到魚窟，並且以黑色石蠅成蟲毛鉤和雉雞尾若蟲毛鉤釣獲數尾馬口魚。看著馬口魚身上煥發出動人的光澤，真希望此處的山林、溪流以及所有的野生動物都可以長存於此！There were a lot of stripe dace in the past, however, the fishery resource now is few because of flood and overfishing problem. Even though, my well experience still could help me to find a good fishing point. And I caught several stripe dace with black stonefly and pheasant tail. Looking at the brilliant color of stripe dace, all I wish is that the beautiful forest, stream and wild lifes could be well forever.
