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 Jackson is an excellent choice for a December trip if you want to catch a mixture of largemouths and spotted bass. The populations of both seem to be on an upswing this year, and they are easy to pattern this month. A typical December trip will produce several largemouth up to 5 pounds and…
