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.

Lake Seminole in February can be heaven or it can be tough, but you can bet that at least a few times in February it will be bass fishing heaven. Like early-spring bass fishing everywhere, the weather dictates the activity and movements of the bass at Seminole, which in turn determines what patterns and techniques…
It is time to take Staysee fishing. At Lake Russell. On main-lake points and humps south of the Hwy 72 bridge. According to bass fisherman Brandon Davis of Athens, that’s the formula for some great spotted-bass fishing in April. On March 18, Brandon and I were on the lake to test the theory. We put…
One of the best sounds of fishing is the sound of line being ripped off a reel by a heavy, hard-fighting fish. It’s a sound that you can expect to hear on a striped-bass fishing trip to Lake Lanier this time of year. When summer weather sets in, the stripers at Lanier stack up in…
