I am mistaken or was there a link to a site where you can look at the movement or forecast of salmon run in the past... I searched everywhere and could not find it...I think I remember it was at the end of the guide for newbies... If anyone knows would appreciate it if you can post the link! Thanks in advance.

But it doesn't forecast salmon runs. It has up to date data on water levels which can help you to predict runs.

Yes I remember there was a link to one of these maps to help us predict the salmon run. Had water levels and a chart with drawings on it.

Basically saying that a good time to fish for salmon is after heavy rains

I think you are talking about that gif that was built. I can't remember who built it. It had the graph levels on one side and a paint drawing of how the salmon run and disperse after a rain. It has to be around here somewhere.

I've had people, including a steelhead guide, tell me that it's when the water has risen and is now coming DOWN in flow that the fish will run. Does it vary with species, is there a general rule?

When the water is up it is generally harder to fish because it is fast and muddy. When dropping it becomes much easier to target the new run of fish.
