Default Clack water level?

Thinking about pumping up the raft and floating the Clack this weekend, from Barton to Carver. Not gonna fish, just taking a couple of people sightseeing.
I've made this trip several times in years past, but usually in June or early July. Is there enough water right now?
One time I floated it a little too late in the year and had to bail out and drag the raft through a few shoals. The idea is to float, not drag. :depressed:

You could probably do it, might drag in a few spots.

I don't know what they're smokin' at the forecast center but there's a flood watch for western Oregon/Washington

I have some friends that have been floating from Carver to Riverside in a driftboat and having no problems. Barton to Carver will probably be a little low in some places.

I agree with DJ, In a raft I'd do it. I haven't drifted it since end June and it was O.K. In my DB. But a raft heck that's good stuff.
