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.

Recent congressional steps were taken that could eventually bring some relaxed seasons and better bag limits for Georgia’s recreational offshore anglers. The goal would be to allow more flexibility to the federal folks when setting recreational seasons and bag limits for species like red snapper, grouper and cobia. Several saltwater fishing leaders, including Spud Woodward,…
