There is an exclusion zone(250Meters) around Bush Island because of the breeding sea eagles,there are cameras watching it 24/7, most of the Lake can be shot except down near Killaloe its a santuary

I'm no use to you at all on that account I'm afraid - haven't ever had either occasion or opportunity to go near Derg (although I'd jump at it if I got it).
