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.

But I must admit I was intrigued to find out what this was all about. Fortunately I was going out with one of the most acknowledged…
There was no warning about what was going to happen. One minute the rod was sitting still in the rodholder — the next instant something slamming the bait had plunged the rod tip violently into the water, twisting the rodholder out of place, peeling line off the reel. Wayne grabbed the rod with both hands…
