Israel Rolle, "Bonefish Folley" Passes

LEGENDARY fisherman and cultural icon Bonefish Folley has died at the age of 91.

Born Israel Rolle, Bonefish Folley was a local celebrity in West End, Grand Bahama, where for more than 60 years he delighted in taking his clients on bonefish tours. Considered the master in his field, he appeared on numerous television shows and documentaries and has been featured by National Geographic.  He was also the inspiration behind the hit Bahamian song “Bonefish Folley” by Phil Stubbs in which Bahamian children sing “Bonefish Folley, he’s so meek and lowly, Bonefish Folley he’s the one and only.”
