Spring Chinook should be in the estuary and after recent higher flows there should be a few in the lower river, although none have made it back to the hatchery yet. The estuaries and tidewater reaches and the lower river below Three Rivers will offer the best opportunity at this point in the season. The Little Nestucca gets some hatchery springers back as well, and they should be starting also.
