Personally, I have never floated the middle fork of the Salmon. Based on what I've heard and read about it's an amazing float trip, but I'm pretty sure most of the floats are longer than one night trips. Most of the floats that I have heard about are week long floats and only a certain amount of boats are allowed on the river each day. So to answer your question, you don't need a permit to fish the river, but I believe you do need one to float that section of water. Maybe some individuals from that neck of the woods can answer more decisively or have some other ideas for floats closer to your area.
