If you find the suckers spawning.... the BOWS are hanging right with em.
Eating the eggs.

Does this apply to small mouth bass as well? Do rainbow eat their eggs as well?

I think its the opposite way around isn't it, the suckers eat the bows' eggs?

Bass usually spawn in the shallows of lakes & ponds rather than running the rivers.
They like muddy weed beds in about 3ft-10 ft depth.

Bass also "Hang around" are very territorial of their nest. (Both male & female)

S0.... the answer would be no.

Good info.

Two weeks ago I caught a rainbow with a mepps aglia, which I cast five feet off the shoreline in about six feet of water. It made me think, are the trout a] simply cruising the shoreline for food while the water is still cold or, B] feeding off nesting bass?

This is what sparked my interest in this thread. In a lake with both small mouth and rainbows, I would guess you could use artificial bass eggs? Not even sure if you could buy those! Any experience here?
