Have you fished at Pocomoke River? Be the first to comment on this fishing spot.
The Pocomoke River stretches approximately 73 miles (117 km) from southern Delaware through southeastern Maryland in the United States. At its mouth, the river is essentially an arm of Chesapeake Bay, whereas the upper river flows through a series of relatively inaccessible wetlands called the Great Cypress Swamp, largely populated by Loblolly Pine, Red Maple and Baldcypress. The river is the easternmost river that flows into Chesapeake Bay and is reputed to be one of the deepest rivers for its width in the world.[1] The name of the river, though traditionally interpreted as "dark (or black) water" by local residents, is now agreed by scholars of the Algonquian languages to be derived from the words for "broken (or pierced) ground," and likely referred to the farming practices of the surrounding indigenous peoples.[2]
