Randy,
As Mike stated, there are no hard and fast rules that apply generally to all rivers, but it's my experience that individual river's do have a "personality" that allows you to predict their fishability based upon the weather forecast following a freshet and when/how high the river peaked in cfs. This takes experience and time on the water, however, to learn. But once learned, very predictable.
Of course, again, like Mike said, if you know what river you want to visit, someone here can likely provide you with the "when to go" info you seek.
You're other best option is to call a sporting goods store in the area of the river and ask, hoping you don't get a "clerk" to try and and answer your question.

fly: Very light artificial fly fishing lure of which there are two types: the dry fly which isn't supposed to sink the way it just did; and the wet fly, which shouldn't be floating up on the surface like that. An Angler's Dictionary.
