In Stewart County, Pool Five is listed as a reservoir; my opening stop would be one easy-to-read section of bank, and I would stay with it until I find a repeatable bite in the first area. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one promising shoreline stretch until I get a useful answer from the first few casts before I add more distance or tackle.
Pool Five Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Pool Five, so I would leave the figures unstated until a reliable lake-specific record provides the figure and use one straightforward shoreline stretch until I see enough in the first few casts.
Fishing This Water
Species information for Pool Five is limited, so I would use a basic first-trip selection of small artificials and a bottom rig around one straightforward section of water and wait to specialize until I get a clear read from the first hour. I would choose one bait style that fits the target on Pool Five, work it around one sheltered section of water, and keep it there until I find a repeatable bite in the first hour.
A Practical Pool Five Game Plan
For a first trip to Pool Five, I would fish one short section of water long enough to judge the plan, then change one variable at a time after I get a useful answer from the first hour. After I get a clear read from the opening stretch, I would give one nearby part of the lake more time on Pool Five instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I find a repeatable bite in the opening stretch, I would remember what worked around one manageable part of the lake and begin the next trip to Pool Five with that same clue.
