Spring chinook Sandy River

I'm looking to go spring chinook fishing this Spring, and from what I've found online the Sandy river has a pretty good spring chinook run. What month does this really start to kick in? Is the Sandy a good choice? Last and most important thing: What bait/line setup should I use? (Please give multiple suggestions if you have some). Thanks!

I just purchased a 10' 6" lamiglass spinning rod rated at 6-12 pound. Not sure if this rod will have enough backbone for spring chinook! Anybody know if this rod would work float fishing chinook?

It will work just fine, just play them out.
