About the best indicator of spawning time is water temperature. However, the optimum spawning water temperature for Bucketmouths differs a bit from one body of water to another. I don't know the exact number for Quail. A rather broad range of water temperatures that they will spawn in is 62 - 75 degrees. Start frequenting Quail when the water temp's hit that range and you may catch them spawning. I found 66 - 68 degrees to be about the right range at Lake Mead.
