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.

September bass fishing in Georgia is tough. The bass are still on summer patterns, the water is as hot as it gets, and the oxygen levels are at their lowest point. And it is still uncomfortable fishing most days. It just makes sense to head to the cool north Georgia mountains and Lake Blue Ridge…
