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.

His favorite way…
For crappie fishermen there isn’t a much better time of year than spring. In our Georgia lakes these prolific fish congregate in large schools and migrate to the shallows looking for a place to spawn. Even though it is not technically spring yet, the action is already beginning to improve over the deep winter doldrums.…
