Three day/two night float trip. Put in at the Priest Hole. Take out at Clarno. Massini Group of six guests from Portland. Low water conditions made for a little more effort getting the rafts through the shallow areas but the fishing more then made up for the extra work. Many 15"-19" fish were caught and the big fish of the trip was this 20+ inch smallie caught by Joe Krisky. Brent Breeden was the guide.
