The rivers are actually dropping as I type this. Should be in decent shape by mid week pending a rain storm.
Fishing isn't a hobby, It isn't for fun. Fishing is life.

If you find the right river the fishing can be great with this rain & high water.
I got more coho this weekend than the last 2 years fishing while everyone was at home!
If you can, Try to find a river system where you can Head up river where there is some water clarity. And like stated above find the slower pool water or any good looking seems from downed logs/trees. Pink/orange have been a great colors this year! spinners, yarn, and jigs. I like fishing water with 1-4 feet visibility.
Dropping Rivers are great to fish like DannyL said.
