Spawning starts with the upstream migration of males and females. Spawning will occur above pools and riffle areas when water temperatures of 59-65 F are obtained. Nocturnal spawning activity is not uncommon. The unattended eggs require 7 to 10 days to hatch. Although it is present in all waters, it is most productive in coastal streams and impoundments.
Sportsmen often capture spotted suckers as they congregate during their spawning run.
