Walleyes expel their eggs into gravelly areas swept by current, while trout and salmon create crude nests in rocky current areas, although none of these fish guard the spawn.
While most male mammals are larger than their female counterparts, females of most freshwater fish species grow to larger average sizes than males. Differences between the sexes are most apparent near spawning time, when the females lay their eggs and males fertilize and often guard the nests, which is most often in the spring or early summer, depending on the species.

Those differences include the time of the year, the age of the fish participating, and their behaviors when spawning. Different types of fish have different strategies when it comes time to spawn and they have to worry about different threats. Catfish tend to spawn during the spring and summer months.
They wait for the water to warm to an optimal degrees. Catfish are also considered the most difficult fish to catch while they are spawning. Part of that is due to the fact that they are nesters. They lay their eggs in dark, secluded cavities they find.
These cavities can be found between rocks, in hollow logs, or burrows in banks. After the female picks a nesting location, she lays her eggs. A male will then come and fertilize the eggs.
After he fertilizes the eggs, the females leave and let the males protect them. The male fish keeps predators away and fans the eggs so they do not get buried by sediments. After about a week the eggs will hatch. When bass are ready to spawn , it only happens in the spring.
They wait for the waters to be anywhere between degrees. Even though bass spawning season only take place in the spring, they have three phases that they go through.
The pre-spawn is when bass begin eating much more. They increase the amount of food they eat because they know they will not eat while they are actually spawning. While bass are spawning they become very aggressive. Species that they used to feed on will now be the ones they attack just to keep their eggs safe. During the post-spawn the eggs have hatched. The males will guard the newly hatched fish while the females leave to rest in deeper water.
Salmon migrate upstream to lay their eggs. They swim back to the same area where they hatched to spawn, and many die during or after the process. Salmon are born in freshwater rivers and streams and return there to spawn, but they spend most of their life in the ocean.
