CM, you are probably right on why there is a split season in Area 11. June and then July-Sept. The White River springers are not fin clipped by the tribe and the Minter creek springers (originally from White River stock) are also not fin clipped by WDFW. I don't know the White River returns since that is tribal data but Minter seems to get back usually between 1000 and 2000 springers each year. Upwards of 2000 springers on a good year and 1200 to 1800 on an average year. I seem to remember when the State started the spring chinook run at Minter that they hoped to get the run big enough to allow a limited sport fishery for them in the South Sound but the run has never gotten large enough to allow that. I know some guys who fish Area 13 ( which is open year around) who catch some of those springers down there.
