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.
