Okanogan River is still only 67 degrees, which is good for future returns but means no thermal barrier to stack up fish at the mouth.  However, good numbers are moving through.  Below Wells seems comparable to mouth of the Okanogan right now, with good fish numbers moving through.  Success has been very variable, from fast limits of Chinook and sockeye both, to total skunkage.  I have not been fishing, but have a large number of friends and acquaintances who participate. 
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

we hooked 22 fish below wells in 3 hours..6 hatchery kings and a pile of sockeye all on King setups.

Keep eyes open on WDFW page for updates heard they may close Chinook in 48 hours

What does a guy use for sockeyes in that stretch? You don't have to give away your secrets but just a taste would be helpful. I will be taking the family to Bridgeport next weekend and may want to spend a morning trying to kill a fish or two.

I don't know if this carrys over but our sockeye set was a small didger, think humpy sized, and two plain red or purple hooks on on a short leader. On lake Washington that was the standard set up.

Ah....the State and their wonderful harvest framework. TAC downgraded the Summer Chinook run to 44k, which leaves a 70 / 30 split of harvestable fish to the Colville Tribe, This is above Priest Rapids to Chief Joseph Dam. With their math, this leaves 3,869 hatchery Chinook available for harvest, so only 858 for the sport fishermen. The problem with their math is there are already 5,000 hatchery Chinook above Wells Dam, and 9,000 Chinook between Rocky Reach Dam and Wells Dam...and about 80% of those are marked hatchery fish. Apparently managing the fishery and selling licenses isn't a top priority?

I have only fished them one time at Bridgeport, but did good using a small dodger, short leader with a small red squider and a coon shrimp. fishing the top 20 ft of water. they weren't to hard to catch the time I went, they are small fish though. a 4lber seemed to be a big one.

Looks like they are only shutting down up to Priest Rapids Dam?
