planning a trip to the river to fish in august. the three forks harbor is hosting a regatta that weekend and I needed other suggestion for where to stay? Any suggestion for fishing patterns on the river at this time couldn't hurt. thanks

where you plannin on launching

if gore is in your general area for fishing (Illinois river comes in there) this place is real nice, on the river and you can catch trout for dinner. have stayed here a couple of times and it is quiet and safe. august it will have folks there, I went in the fall.

oh and you can launch just down the road, got to trim up for a little ways if the dam is not open but the river is only about half a mile I think.

I do not know where to launch however we will probably want to stay somewhere in the Muskogee area. This is open for suggestion as well as suggestions on what ramp to use. again thanks for any help.

Hampton or Holiday inn in muskogee are OK, BE SURE to take in all your valuables. Launch at three forks, even with a regatta there will be plenty of room.
You can't fish too shallow on the river in summer the hotter the better. Find backwater sloughs with some timber and pitch plastics in there and bounce a squarebill though it.

Another area you may look at is Greenleaf State Park. Nice cabins in there, Highway 10 landing is across the road on the river and Greenleaf is full of big bass.

thanks for the info.

My house! Just kidding Hampton is the best place. There is also Fairfield inn and holiday inn express. So many good fisheries in Muskogee, I am very blessed. Ft Gibson, eufulah, tenkiller, green leaf, all really close too. I do love river 2.
