In Ascension Parish, Lake Villars is listed as a lake, and I would rather keep the first plan small and easy to judge, so on an opening trip I would keep the first plan small and easy to judge. I would begin around one manageable piece of water instead of trying to cover the whole water, because one productive area is more useful than several random moves.
Lake Villars Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
A dependable standalone acreage, maximum depth, and storage figure is not published for Lake Villars, which makes it smarter to use what I can see instead of guessing at a measurement, so the safer move is to keep the first plan modest until I see the water. I would spend more time looking at the immediate area before deciding what matters, and that is more useful than pretending a nearby lake has the same dimensions.
Fishing This Water
The fishery at Lake Villars is lightly documented, and that gives me a reason to wait for actual catches before specializing the tackle, so on the first visit I would let the first catches narrow the plan. I would keep things simple with a basic first-trip selection of a jig, a spinner, and a bait rig, because one good bite is enough to start turning unknown water into familiar water.
A Practical Lake Villars Game Plan
My first plan for Lake Villars would be to fish one familiar-looking part of the water deliberately and make changes only when the results justify them; if the first area is quiet, I would change one thing at a time so I know whether the adjustment helped.
