Bank fishing Coho on upper Willamette

I heard that there are very few Coho this year but being new at this I want to give it a try, are there any good spots to bank fish Coho above the falls? I live in Portland and been looking at the map for a good spot. How about Willamette park? Or is boating the only good way.
Would I have better luck on the Clackamas or the Sandy?

I looked at the satellite map of Willamette park and the mouth of the Tualatin river and don’t see an old boat ramp unless it’s hidden in the trees. I’ll probably try the dock at Willamette park and take a walk towards Tualatin mouth and see if I can find it. Thanks

I went Willamette Park by the mouth of the Tualatin this morning. Lots of boats out this morning heading towards the falls, so I’m guessing the fish are making a pass. I didn’t see any action from the boat launch/dock section. Didn’t see anyone bank fishing the old boat launch this morning with the exception of a few boats out near the mouth. Moved over to the clack after an hour and same thing, lots of pikes/ Trout splashing around but no fish rolling or jumping. I’m sure they are in there though.

Anyone have any success above the falls this weekend?
