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