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.

Many bass fishermen think June means slower bass fishing as the fast action of spring becomes just a memory. But bass are moving onto predictable patterns and holes this month, and the action can even be better than it was looking for scattered bass in the spring. Lake Sinclair is one of our best lakes…
