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.

When it comes to winter fishing — I mean in the depth of winter with surfaces temperatures at their lowest and air temperatures so icy they numb your toes — there isn’t a much better method to attract a few fish than the vertical presentation of a jigging spoon. This seemingly lifeless hunk of metal…
It looked like we were going to be lucky. There was a late fall cold front approaching and the weather forecast called for rain and gusty winds. We could deal with the rain, but the winds, if they came up, would shut us down in a hurry. “The approaching front could turn the bite on,”…
