You should really get acquainted with this site if you plan on fishing rivers much.
http://waterdata.usgs.gov/wa/nwis/current?type=flow
Note the river height in a journal every time when you get home from fishing.
You'll soon be able to tell if a system is fishable or not.
Blown out to one person may mean fishable to another.
You are better off fishing when things first start dropping then waiting until they are in shape.
They may mean fishing dirty water, which is better in my opinion then waiting to long for things to clear.
