Lake Worth
Lake Worth, also known as Lake Chehaw, is a small reservoir at the confluence of the Flint River, Kinchafoonee Creek and Muckalee Creek. The concrete Flint River Dam was built in 1908 for hydroelectric generation and is owned by Georgia Power today. Lake Chehaw is very riverine and shallow with average depths of 17 feet. In winter, the lake is drawn down nearly 10 feet in anticipation of flooding spring rains. In the Flood of 1994, the lake overflowed its banks and the dam itself was underwater at one point.

Bass fishing is fantastic on all our lakes in April, but you should consider a trip to Bartletts Ferry, also known as Lake Harding. The bass on this small lake are up shallow in pockets and creeks, with some fish spawning and others ready to go on the bed or feeding after spawning. You can…
The old favorite methods still work in any Georgia waters, but if Southern crappie anglers want to catch more fish, they might want to get on board with a northern walleye technique—and that’s the “planer” truth! “Planer boards are fairly new to crappie fishermen, but the technique has been around for a long time,” commented…
