Since I no longer live in Washington I'll give a little secret away. Sep/Oct is prime time for chinook and coho on the Humptulips below 101. You'll need to float into some of the better areas, but well worth it! Throwing a two-handed will incumbent of the water levels.

If you need a brief stop try the Cowlitz just above the steelhead hatchery (Blue Creek). There's good water below the ramp, but usually a few to many bait tossers.

My profile picture shows two Cowlitz hatchery brats!
