Salmon after a flood?

In general how long after a flood is the best time to go salmon and sea trout river fishing?

caught myself a 16lber and 10lber during the dry spell on the moy to. Have been eating it every day since because theres that much of it, its greeeeeeeat. No better tasting fish than your own caught out of the river

Have seen the pics on teirans site and they all look about 2-4lbers. Heard theres quite a few in so will prob get out during the week and get another few. Expecting a good run in now with that flood after that dry spell. We sure did need that drop of rain i tell ya. It also keeps the poachers away because they cant really poach in fast water, im sure they were out in force during that dry spell because they were perfect conditions for it

i was told once that it was once it starts getting darker ye know the sediments start going out of the flow but there is still a fair amount of water there.

If its the same spot Kevin is talking about its the stretch below the anglers rest pub

Would that be around the back of the hotel that was closed due to flood damage. Cannot think of its name at the minute.

That's the weir it's free fishing there I don't know if it's still single barbless hooks on the spinners
The spot I'm talking about is further up river
