    Default Rend Lake crappie spawning questions


    1) about what week in April do you folks expect the crappie to start moving into the buck brush this year since its been a hard winter?

    2) is the lake level high enough for good buck brush fishing or does Rend need some rain in a bad way?

    Should start around Apr 20th. We need rain. There is some water in some bushes but we need about 3 feet more to be right.

    that being said .... if we don't get a significant rain event this spring, where will the crappie spawn then?

    They will spawn on any cover they can find. There are bushes in the water right now just not a lot like there usually are.
