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.

In both cases you can catch Clarks Hill bass on a variety of baits this month, with five-fish 15-lb. stringers common. Clarks…
Even though the calendar reads May, Lake Eufaula crappie guide Tony Adams is already experiencing around-the-clock “summer” fishing on the big Chattahoochee River impoundment on the Georgia-Alabama border. Like most anglers, Tony takes advantage of the late-winter and early spring migration of crappie to their shallow spawning areas, plucking huge numbers of fish from the…
