#ANGLING - A new film on fishing in south Donegal will have its premiere this Thursday, the Donegal Democrat reports.
The film, The Blue Stack Mountains, is the fourth in a series on angling in Ireland by German producer Dietrich Bohnhorst, whose previous fishing documentaries have been broadcast on television around the world.
According to Bohnhorst, who has lived in Donegal for 25 years, his latest film “describes a journey from Glenties, through Commeen, Stranorlar, Ballybofey and back over Barnesmore Gap to Donegal town."
It also pays special attention to “about 40 lakes which lie in the Blue Stacks, how to get there and where to fish, what flies to use and so on.”
Bohnhorst hopes his film will help to break the "invisible line" that he says has cut off the "under-promoted" Donegal from the marketing of angling in Ireland.
All are invited to the premiere at Solis Lough Eske Castle this Thursday at 8pm. Admission is free.

About the RS21 International One Design Class

The RS21 International One Design Class is a modern keelboat, which promoters say is 'responsibly designed with performance racing at its heart'.

The powerful rig and distinct chines are balanced by well-mannered boat handling and an ergonomic deck layout to ensure everyone on board has a vital role and ease of use.

The RS21 was developed with sustainability at the core of its design, not only in terms of materials but also considering the carbon footprint in the supply chain, a reduction in single-use plastics and a focus on efficient logistics.

The RS21 International One Design Class is growing from strength to strength, with fleets active over three continents and racing calendars that escalate each year, nationally and internationally. "Removing the arms race and ensuring epically close racing in the RS21 is the future of keelboat racing," said class aficionados.
