I'm leaning towards Carp.

They are 100% Suckers!! They spawn every spring & come up the rivers by the thousands!!

Title: White Suckers

Yes they are 110% White Suckers.  Very Common this time of year in most streams flowing into most lakes. Salmon are fall spawners and do not have inferior mouths (i.e. mouth pointing downward.) looks like 3 males and 2 females. The fish at the bottom is either a female or a male not in spawning colours.
