195-acre reservoir in Osage County, Oklahoma. The lake tops out around 50 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The drawn water covers 195 acres wrapped in 7.5 miles of bank. With a shoreline index of 3.8, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. About 36% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 1.6 mi end to end and 0.7 mi across at its widest. Osage County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Cleveland City Lake, is 13 mi to the southwest.
Spring channel catfish on Hominy Municipal Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 25 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 40 ft. The chart's best answer is Shallow feeding flat — feeding flat, 20 ft, prime for fall. Prime time lands in after dark and the evening.

Early season crappie use the shallows, holding in 2 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 25 ft, then a winter hold in 15 to 35 ft.

Tie on a jig trolled/spider-rigged or a small crankbait (trolled) and you're in the game.
