One reason that you might not be getting hard numbers on some of those streams, other than the fact that a lot of people don't like to talk too much about them in an open format like this, is that there is a lot of sediment due to clear cutting and landslides that can make water clarity harder to predict. Some rivers do generally clear faster than others (Smith vs Eel for instance), but there can also be some major variation in what flows some streams start to clear up and how fast they do clear. Lots of variables can go into this, but in all honesty sometimes you just have to go and see. Always a good idea to have a back up in mind too. So far this has been a tough winter in terms of high flows, hopefully we'll get some bigger windows in Feb/Mar between storms.
