Thread: Clarence Rafting tips

I'm thinking of rafting the Clarence when I'm in the South Island for Christmas. We are ideally planning to do a week long mission. Our raft is an Incept WS33 - basically the smallest decent raft they make. It's good for 2-3 guys doing expedition type trips, ideally in grade 1-2, maybe 3.

Have any of you Forum folks done the trip? I'm keen to understand:
*the best place to put in
*the best place to pull out, where we can park a car nearby
*how we find out what is DOC land on the way down, versus private?
*what's the fishing like, if any?
*critters - how target rich is the environment?
*how 'big' is the water?

If anyone has done this trip, I would love to talk and get some tips.

Cheers
