I don't live in Illinois any longer, but would guess Rend to be closed with IDNR shutting down for COVID-19? I would check before going.
I was thinking of taking a day off work Friday to head out to Rend for some crappie. Was wondering if they’re in the buckbrush yet, if there are any baitshops to get minnows, and what ramps are open. Any help is appreciated thank you!!

Rend is open. Only three ramps currently. Dam West, Gunn Creek, and North Marcum. The fish are probably starting to show up in the buck brush.

Fished Rend Sunday. We bought minnow at the Tackle Box and used Gunn Creek ramp. Water temp 51-54, and didn't find any in the buckbrush. Everyone wash still fishing deep. We caught them in 10-12 FOW.

Ryno1967 where is the tackle box?
The bait shop by the motel just off I-57 on 154 should be open. I caught fish Monday in 10' and 5-6.5. fishing 4-5' deep
Oh ok. It used to be lake zone bait and tackle
