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.

Daniel Rawlins, 16, of Appling, was hoping for a Clarks Hill slab crappie when he was fishing on April 15, 2001. Instead, he ended up landing this 13-oz. warmouth that nailed his minnow. The new lake-record fish fills a previously empty category. Clarks Hill Lake, is a reservoir at the border between Georgia and South Carolina in the…
It was just after 8:00 a.m. and I had just made my fourth cast of the morning. My medium-sized crankbait landed right where I wanted it to, just beyond an underwater spring that had been attracting fish as of late. I gave my reel seven or eight good cranks trying to get my bait down…
