It seems like the Minter run is pretty steady. No big variations from year to year. A friend of mine who is on the sport fishery advisory committee and knows some of the Puyallup tribal personnel said that some years the White River run is not bad. He told me a few years ago the run was somewhere around 8000-9000 fish. I don't know what the run has been the last few years.Anyone who is interested can read the spring chinook returns to Minter in the hatchery escapements reports on the WDFW webite.
