Park at the bridge that crosses the river and walk down and fish as you go. Chum are there and Coho fishing is probably still very spotty as it's generally early for them up that way.

There was a group of young guys fishing from the pumphouse and had a well coordinated effort going. Hook fish, move off the pumphouse and bring a buddy with a net. Saw them take several nice cohos.
