Lake Wilda is a reservoir in Virginia, near Augusta County.
Lake Wilda sits in Augusta County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one nearby area near the launch as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a useful answer from the nearby water. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one manageable area near the launch until I see enough in the nearby water, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Lake Wilda does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a dependable agency source confirms the number before trusting a number and stay around one easy-to-read piece of water until I learn something from the first setup.
Known fish for Lake Wilda include Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so I would build the first part of the day around one realistic target at one promising piece of water and avoid switching until I see a pattern develop in the first setup. If bass are present in Lake Wilda, a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical combination around one straightforward section of bank; I would change it only when I get a useful clue from the first area.
If I were seeing Lake Wilda for the first time, I would work one sheltered section of bank with only a few dependable baits and fix the first weak link in the approach after I get a clear read from the first area. If I find a repeatable bite in the first area, I would stay around one short section of bank on Lake Wilda and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I get a useful clue from the first few casts, I would leave Lake Wilda knowing that one nearby shoreline stretch deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
