Lake Walthall sits in Walthall County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one promising piece of water as the first place to read the first few bites before deciding I need a completely different plan. I would work one straightforward piece of water long enough to see whether the first idea has any life in it, because a first trip only needs to produce one useful clue.
Lake Walthall Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Lake Walthall does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would judge the water level around the first section and avoid turning an estimate into a fact. The lack of exact measurements on Lake Walthall makes one short section of bank a sensible place to begin before making any assumptions about the rest of the lake.
Fish Species and Best Baits
The available fish information for Lake Walthall includes Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Longear Sunfish, Redear Sunfish, and Warmouth, so my opening plan would focus on one primary species for the opening hour so the rest of the tackle has a reason to be there. A compact spinnerbait, crankbait, and Texas-rigged plastic cover the basic bass approaches on Lake Walthall while I judge the first pattern so each change has a clear reason behind it.
A Practical Lake Walthall Game Plan
For a first trip to Lake Walthall, I would fish one easy-to-read shoreline stretch long enough to judge the plan before moving, then rethink one variable at a time and leave with a clearer plan for the next visit. After Lake Walthall gives me something repeatable around one easy-to-read section of water, I would give that idea more time instead of immediately looking elsewhere, which is enough information to improve the next trip.
