Default Brackish water info req.

Fresh off my astounding success at duping some poor catfish in a farm
pond, I'm setting my sights on a more fair fight. In the next couple
weeks, there's a better than even chance I'll have an opportunity to
fish the Pocomoke River (MD eastern shore). Except for the right rod &
line, I have virtually nothing I'll need for this.

For those not familiar with the Pocomoke, here's an advance TR. The
Pocomoke is a beautiful, scenic, tanin brown river that actually has
areas of cyprus swamp in places. For most of its length, it is tidal,
but nonetheless flows (both ways) along a winding bed through the flat
forests near Snow Hill & Pocomoke, MD. In places, it widens to include
shallow lily pad areas along the shoreline. Although techically
brackish, it's more fresh than salt in the upper reaches where I'll be.

I'll be in a stable kayak, and probably trying to work the edges of the
weeds and the dropoffs into the channel bed. I would expect, if I were
a better fisherman, to catch almost anything from striped to largemouth
bass, pike, white perch, yellow perch, and yes, catfish.

I will be checking out various bass fishing sites for fly
recommendations, and I would expect the usual Clousers, Lefty's
Deceivers, etc. will get me in the right ballpark; but if anyone else
would want to offer words of wisdom, I'm all ears.
