Since the springs from White R and Minter Hatcheries aren't ad clipped the only increment to escapement from black mouth closure is from reduction in release mortality. Fat chance there would be a river sport fishery on unclipped spring Chinook in the White/Puyallup/Minter Creek no matter what the surplus amounts to.
