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.

A solid bass right off the bat is always nice—takes some pressure off when you need a picture fish. On the contrary, it’s a bad feeling when hours tick by and cast after cast go unnoticed. We know that feeling too, because after a bass that hit in the first 10 minutes of our morning,…
April at Eufaula usually means shallow bass in grass, but there is an even better pattern. Get off the bank away from the crowds and catch postspawn bass already stacking up before moving to their summer holes. No hindsight ip unit displayed. Lake Walter F. George, called Eufaula by most fishermen, is a big U.S.…
