Renney Pond is a reservoir in Virginia, near Sussex County.
This Sussex County water is recorded as Renney Pond, a reservoir, and I would spend the first part of the trip around one straightforward piece of water until I get a useful clue from the first setup. On unfamiliar water, I would rather fish one sheltered piece of water until I get a clear read from the first setup than make several random moves.
Surface area, maximum depth, and storage are not well documented for Renney Pond, so I would keep those values open until an official reservoir report documents the value while I work one short section of bank until I find a repeatable bite in the first area.
The documented species list for Renney Pond includes Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, which gives me enough options to pick one primary species, start around one nearby section of bank, and keep that plan until I get a useful clue from the first area. A simple bass setup of one moving lure and one soft plastic is enough around one manageable shoreline stretch on Renney Pond, at least until I get a clear read from the first few casts.
A practical first day on Renney Pond starts with one easy-to-read shoreline stretch and one target species; from there I would change location before rebuilding the tackle plan after I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts. If I see a pattern develop in the first hour, I would keep working one easy-to-read section of water on Renney Pond and treat that as the main lesson from the first visit. If I get a useful clue from the first hour, I would keep track of the depth and presentation around one promising section of water so the next trip to Renney Pond starts with a real plan.
