Ice fishing is not in the scheme of things for me. The last fish have came from around the island and near the painted rocks. If I were ice fishing I would try the big shallow bay that is East and north of the narrows. It's a pretty good hike from the park at Oasis and a good jaunt from the ramp at painted rocks as well.
Fish are constantly moving in the area around the launch ramp at Oasis and from there to the dam. A lot of pike have come from that shoreline and it might be a good place. The great majority of fish that we have caught were in 10 to 12 feet of water.
One other area that might produce is due east from the oasis launch ramp on the opposite shoreline. It is the area where the state dumped a bunch of big rocks for structure. If the reservoir doesn't rise a lot in the time between now and when you fish, you'll be able to see some of the rocks on the beach.
Hope that helps. Good luck and let me know how you do. Pez vela
