Middle Fork of the Salmon commercial launch schedule

Each year, the commercial launch schedule remains the same on the Middle Fork of the Salmon. If you were lucky enough to win a permit, you can look below and see which company you will be likely launching with. I say likely because not everyone decides to start at Boundary Creek. Depending on water levels and trip length, groups may decide to start from Indian Creek or another put-in.
