Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, and Australian Bass are the species found in Lake Lyell. There is a current plague of Redfin fish. If you do catch these please do not put them back! The Lake is also home to water rats, fresh water pippies and platypus on the rare occasion. With NSW Fisheries and local climitision committee we also regularly release trout and bass. As we are in a bush setting kangaroos wombats. drop bears and possums are regularly seen on the roads so please take care. Being a bush setting, during summer means the potential for snakes and lizards to be around so please take care.
