Let us take a moment to honor Bob Popovic
On November 1, 2024, Bob Popovic passed on to his next journey. He was an icon in the world of saltwater fly-fishing. Larger than life in many ways, Bob was an original, and he made fly-tying and casting an art form. He was a giant revered by many for his ability to bring people together, make everyone feel welcome to share ideas, and participate in the world he loved and that we all enjoy. A quiet and humble man, Bob was a U.S. Marine, a family man, a friend, a chef, an artist, a superb fisherman, and could cast a fly line like no other. Over the years, I was lucky enough to know Bob; it was always my pleasure when he stepped aboard the skiff. He was soft-spoken, a fountain of knowledge eager to share, instruct, or hang out with. How lucky we all were to have him in our lives.

Dont forget about Flat’s Fishing on Long Island next Spring
Long Island enjoys “World Class” white sand flats with gin-clear water. What can be more exciting than visually connecting with your fish, tracking its movement, and presenting your fly? … I’ll tell you what… It’s watching your fish chase it down, open its mouth, and eat it! Then enjoy the battle that ensues. I can’t tell how often I’ve been there and watched it happen. Each encounter is as exciting as the last.
Treat yourself to some “World Class Angling” here on Long Island!
We are fishing!
Just give us a call at 516-238-7642 and you are in!
All the Best
Your Captain, Barry Kanavy 516-238-7642 / 516-785-7171
On another note: For a long time, the opportunity to introduce young people to the “Natural World” surrounding them on Long Island, has excited me.

“An Anglers dream”
Some days you wake up and know, today is going to be good day. Why is that? Maybe the planets are in alignment, even your dog is unexplainably happy. February 24th was such a day. Bob and I were on the last day of a six day fishing adventure in the Acklins. We were plagued with two and a half days of un-fishable weather due to a cold front that buried the North East in snow and sub-zero temperatures. The Acklins Islands 250 miles South of Nassau was also feeling the effects. On our last day we both felt energized and prepared for anything as our trip was quickly coming to an end. It wasn’t long before we were both into Bonefish and huge Cudas’ prowling the flats. After Bob donated some tackle to these toothy torpedoes and managed to land a few beauties, it was nearly 2PM, Bob and I were experincing that sinking feeling as the end of our trip closing in. Our guide Garon decided to try one more spot. That’s were this story begins…
Go to Angler Adventures and you can read all about it in Bob’s words.
