Both rainbow and brown trout can be found in the area and the dam is regularly stocked and fish are easily caught there.
Access to many of the streams in the area may be through private property so please remember that private property can only be entered with the prior permission of the landholder.
Oberon Dam is open to anglers all year round but the streams are subject to the Freshwater Fishing Regulations.
The season for stream fishing opens at the start of the October long weekend and closes at the end of the June long weekend.
All anglers must have a Freshwater Fishing Licence. Exemptions apply to indigenous people, aged pensioners and anglers under 18, as well as private farm dams of two hectares or less.
The regulations set out the rules that apply to freshwater fishing generally and also to Oberon. They define the minimum legal size of trout, the methods of fishing and the bait that may not be used.
Fish may be caught at all times of the day, however, early morning and late afternoon are best as trout tend to feed at these times.
To get to Kelly's Lane follow the Edith Road towards Jenolan Caves for about 5km from Oberon and turn right onto Shooters Hill Road.
After travelling a short distance, turn right and continue along the unsealed road.
