~ 500K White River spring Chinook (segregated) are released at Minter Creek (from Hupp Springs hatchery). All are tagged, but none are marked with an adipose clip, so they are not intended for selective harvest.

Lifter99 also commented that Puyallup tribal personnel told him that there were ~ 8000 - 9000 White River springs returning to the river. The forecast for returns to the White River this year is about 4900 total spring Chinook with about 2800 of those being naturally produced.
