How do these Rivers compare in terms of blowout levels, and recovery?

Here ya go:

https://waterdata.usgs.gov/wa/nwis/current?type=flow

Right now all the rivers YOU asked about....should be pretty close to "low water" for this time of the year....

write these numbers down, somewhere...….then when you want to go fishing check the flow...…..if up 2000 or more, in general, stay home, wait until the water starts to drop.....now the only to find the "good level"....YOU GOT TO FIND THAT OUT FOR YOURSELF...….find a good level that works for you...

Good luck....

Nothing but a bunch of mean old has-beens on this board.

Get off my river, you damn kids!!!! rofl

Back in my day, I had to have my sell out guide row me UP the river. 5 miles. In the snow. Uphill.

We didn't have no internets, googles, BookFaces, and InstantGram to help us fish.

Damn snowflake kids. Probably wants a fishing report with photos too.

I don't think there are short cuts when figuring out these three systems. Take the Humptulips for instance, in the fall a normal rain system can push in mega leaves and muddy the water for days, but double the rain in December might barely bump the river and keep in green and fishable if the snow level is low enough. The next week, the same amount of rain might punch it, if it's warm and the snow level climbs.

The sentiment on previous posts shares the reality... you ain't gonna find the good days unless you just GO! If you stare at the online river graphs and wait for the best day, you're gonna be waiting a while. And if you cherry pick the best flows you're gonna have more company than you can handle and miss out on some great fishing in marginal conditions.
