Rating depth structure for cutthroat trout.

6-acre lake in Capital Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 17 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Quarantine Lake maps at 6 acres behind 0.6 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 91% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi. Capital Regional District claims this one. If the bite dies, Matheson Lake is 1 mi to the northwest.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: cutthroat trout in 3 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 17 ft, wintering in 4 to 17 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 8 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 17 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (8 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 3 to 17 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 4 to 17 ft | dawn | Break off the point (8 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
