There is a rule about soft-g indeed. It must always follow a vowel, thus no word may start with "Ğ".

cos "ğ" doesnt have a sound. It just softly connects two letters (ağaç) or make the letter before it pronounced a bit longer (yağ )

İ guess it almost doesnt pronounce when its between 2 vowels,and it has a sound when its between vowel and constant
Like as you said ağaç,and in yağmur
You do pronounce it a bit in yağmur ,yes ?!

Yes. You pronounce the ğ just a little in some words, but it is no pronounciation really. It is more a soft h that comes from the throat, but is so soft it can barely be called a letter and really just lenghtens or connects the surrounding vowels like İncişka says

An istanbullu friend of mine told me that ğ, in the past, had a guttural sound. And nowadays, that some people use to pronounce "yağmur" like "yaşmur".

you just make the "a" longer before you say mur. like yaamur. ğ can be compared to the soft znak (cant type it on this keyboard) in russian. it doesnt have a sound itself, just makes the other sounds longer or a softer connection...
